It has been some time since we were last at the Saline County Singing Convention, but the Echoes made up for lost time when we were invited to be the featured singers at the April 2016 convention. This one was hosted by the North Williford Baptist Church, in Harrisburg, IL. Pastor Keith Ital made us feel very welcome at his church, and we also enjoyed his "Elvis-style" singing.
The Saline County Singing Convention is one of the oldest continuing such events in Illinois (or anywhere else around the tri-state that we know of).
Phillip Fritts is the current President of the Convention, and he and his wife are working hard to line up both featured singers to sing at and Saline County locations to host the Convention.
The Convention has a Facebook page, which features a number of the songs sung by the Echoes and others at this event. Check it out at:
