The Echoes participated in a Western Kentucky Gospel Music Association (WKGMA) Mini-Convention held at Trader's Mall, near Paducah, KY. The Antiques and Flea Market Mall also contains an auditorium, which is a great place for special events such as the Mini-Convention. It also periodically hosts great Gospel singing by full-time groups, such as Gold City, Dixie Melody Boys, Ivan Parker, Mark Trammel Quartet, and others.
The Mini-Convention featured a large number of soloists, duets, trios and quartet members of WKGMA. The first 2-hour set began at 4:00pm. The Echoes sang just before the end of that set, after which everyone had the opportunity to partake of a delicious steak dinner. Afterward, the Convention continued with additional groups taking their turn on stage.
It's always great for Gospel singers to get together and feast on the messages in the songs, as well as the Spirit in which they are delivered. You're sure to enjoy being a part of that, so watch for announcements of future mini-conventions, or the upcoming Fall Convention in November.
