COLBY — “Harmonies of Love” will be the theme of the 2025 Tumbleweed Chorus annual show on Saturday, March 29 at 2 p.m. CDT at Colby Community College’s Cultural Arts Center. The doors open at 1:30 p.m., with the show ending about 4:30 p.m. 

This is the 43rd annual show for the Tumbleweed Chorus, whose members hale from throughout northwest Kansas.

The Colby Tumbleweed Chorus together with Hays High Plains Chorus will headline this year’s show, performing “Harmonies of Love”-themed musical selections including “The Longest Time”, “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”, “Lullaby”, “In the Still of the Night”, “Orange Colored Sky”, “Sweet and Lovely”, and “My Honey’s Lovin’ Arms.”

This year’s guest barbershop quartet is Linc 182, the 2023 Illinois State district champion quartet from Bloomington, and competitors in the 2024 International Quartet Barbershop competition. 

Some of the fun-oriented songs that Linc 182 are known for include “Your First Day in Heaven”, “This Could Be the Start of Something Big”, “Toyland”, “As Long As I’m Singing”, “Chordbuster’s March” and “The Best Times I Ever Had (I Owe ‘Em to My Dear Ol’ Dad).” 

The group’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082824190167">Facebook page is Linc 182</a>. Lincoln, now 13, is the youngest member of this professional quartet.

The western Kansas barbershop quartets Uncalled 4, Genuine Gents, and Prairie Timbre and the Northwest Kansas women’s barbershop group, Prairie Rose Harmony, will join the combined Tumbleweed and Hays High Plains Chorus on this year’s show.

The Tumbleweed Chorus and Prairie Rose Harmony groups’ annual show are their major fund-raising efforts for the year. The Tumbleweed Chorus is an affiliate of the Barbershop Harmony Society, whose mission is to keep vocal music alive and healthy.

This year’s show will also take a moment to honor the late Curtis Duncan, longtime radio personality in northwest Kansas who had become a fixture as master of ceremonies in past Colby Barbershop spring shows.

Tickets for the show cost $10, and are available by calling 785-694-3057 or contacting local Tumbleweed Chorus or Prairie Rose Harmony members. Numerous area businesses make the show possible through their generous program advertising.

The Tumbleweed Chorus and the western Kansas quartets will also appear on the Hays High Plains Chorus shows the following weekend. The afternoon show is Saturday, April 5 at 2 p.m. at Beach Schmidt Performing Arts Center on Fort Hays State University campus. The evening show begins at 7 p.m. Doors open an hour before either show. 

The 2008 International First place award winning OC Times are the headliner quartet.

The music of OC Times is inspired by artists like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. This young, energetic group breathes new life into swing standards, country favorites and rock ‘n roll classics. Hailing from Orange County, Calif., OC Times’s fresh style, repertoire and sound naturally appeals to youth, while paying tribute to the past.

 General admission for either Hays show is $15 and can be purchased in advance on Eventbrite.

Barbershoppers present “Harmonies of Love” March 29 in Colby, April 5 in Hays

The Wild West Festival Executive Committee has announced that public voting is now open for the organization’s new logo contest, marking a significant milestone in the festival’s ongoing commitment to community engagement.

The committee welcomes all members of the public to cast their vote for their favorite logo by visiting <a href="https://wildwestfestival.com/logocontest/">wildwestfestival.com/logocontest</a>.

Only one vote per person will be allowed, and voting will remain open through March 31.

This year, as part of a broader effort to revitalize branding and increase public awareness, the all-volunteer Wild West Festival Committee invited designers and artists from across the community to submit their best ideas for a new festival logo.

The response was exceptional, with the committee receiving submissions that showcased a wide range of talents and creative approaches.

Selecting which logos would advance to the voting stage was a challenging process.

Committee members devoted considerable time to reviewing each submission, ensuring that every design was carefully considered.

The final entries represent the mission and spirit of the festival while honoring both traditional and modern design elements, which are now available for public consideration.

“The committee wanted to involve the community in this selection process because the Wild West Festival is ultimately a celebration for everyone,” said Julie Edgeman, president of the Wild West Festival executive committee. “By allowing the public to vote, we are giving festival supporters and residents alike a chance to directly influence the festival’s new&nbsp;look. We believe this approach resonates with the very spirit of what the Wild West Festival is all about—bringing people together and honoring the collective culture of our community.”

Edgeman said that the submissions highlight the creativity and enthusiasm that exists within the region.

Many of the entries featured unique color palettes and bold statements, while others drew on historical elements to convey a sense of heritage.

The Executive Committee expresses appreciation for all participants who dedicated their time and energy to crafting a design that captures the essence of the Wild West Festival.

For more information about the Wild West Festival, the logo contest, or other upcoming events, visit the official festival website <a href="https://wildwestfestival.com">WildWestFestival.com</a>.

The committee encourages everyone to make their voice heard by participating in this unique opportunity to help shape the visual identity of one of the region’s most anticipated cultural celebrations.
