Local resident Scott Praye first envisioned the Winter Gospel concerts back in 2021. While watching gospel music videos one Saturday afternoon, he thought of a free gospel concert. He tossed about the idea over a few months, and eventually gave Roundup the Winter Gospel event in 2022. It proved so successful he repeated it in 2023. And again this year Roundup was treated to an evening of gospel tunes.
More than 75 citizens of all ages enjoyed gospel music from a wide variety of artists, all local. The night started with a group sing of "When the Saints Go Marching In". Mayor Sandra Jones and family entertained with guitars and voices. This year is the third straight year for their participation.
Others that lent their talents included the Cook family, Reggie Pates, Roundup FFA teacher Angela Mayfield, Dan & Dean, also the choir from the Roundup SDA church. Jason Johnson along with Laura and Scott Worf added musical accompaniment.
Thanks to all who contributed food and came to sing along. We're looking forward to another Winter Gospel in 2025!
