@ Bryn Seion Welsh Church, 22132 S. Kamrath Rd,...
If you're in the Portland, Oregon area, come to the Bryn Seion Welsh Church Gymanfa Ganu on Sunday 22 June 2008. We went last year and it was wonderful - here's my blog entry on this year's, which has a link for directions for anyone who wants to go:
"Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 is the date for the 73rd Gymanfa Ganu, an event of singing in Welsh which sort of means "sing gathering," held at Bryn Seion Welsh Church in Beavercreek, Oregon. Welsh immigrants to the United States held community singing events like this in their churches to retain their community, their heritage and their language and these are one particular cultural birthright of Welsh-Americans. Anyone is welcome, whether they're lucky enough to be Welsh or not, and everyone sings together."
Our own Betty Pierce on here is one of the wonderful people who works so hard to put this on.
It's really gorgeous and if anyone wants to come, let's meet up!
