VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Maasjo Sisters from the Valley City and Fingal area will be sharing a variety of music starting at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8 at the City Park Bandshell. Come early and enjoy a treat from Bumpa’s ice cream provided to you by the Bridges Arts Council.

The Maasjo Sisters is a local trio of sisters Sandy Maasjo, Shirley Buttke and Carol Thibeault. All three currently reside in the Valley City and Fingal area. If you love harmony, then the Maasjo Sisters will not disappoint you! Known for their effortless ability to blend and harmonize, the trio began years ago quite by accident when a solo practice session turned into 3-part harmony for the first time!

Since the early years they have continued to grow musically and enjoy the challenge of choosing a song to cover and really making it their own. Their repertoire and genre of music is continuously growing and changing and may include contemporary and classic country, bluegrass, gospel, alternative and even some 60s music. They have and continue to perform locally and regionally at various events and venues including mini concerts, dances, weddings, festivals, street fairs, reunions, music in the park and the Nome School.

Bring your family and enjoy the evening with neighbors & friends! A freewill offering is taken for the continued support of the City Park Bandshell and Music in the Park. In case of inclement weather, programs will be moved to VCSU Robinson Center for the Arts.
