During late August and in the month of September, the Hamilton Community School sponsored a successful Performing Arts Festival for neighborhood residents. The free performances included the following recognized groups: Trebor Tichenor and the St. Louis Ragtimers; Ken Billups directing the Legend Singers and Singleton Palmer and the Dixieland Six. Warm sunny weather prevailed throughout and the audience was humming and tapping along to the music.
Members of the Hamilton Community School Advisory Council used the event to distribute fall brochures and talk to neighborhood residents about programs going on in the Community School.
Staff from the St. Louis Public Library joined the Community School in providing entertainment for area youth, prior to the evening performances.
