Concert of Hope

Kenz was asked to perform at a Memorial Concert honoring 2 students 

that were recently killed in a car accident.

Kenz met the darling three students that survived the crash before the concert began.

Lauren Fenton's mom takes a picture with Kenz before the show.

Kenz spent a lot of time trying to decide what was appropriate to sing.  

It was supposed to be a night to celebrate yet both parents and students were invited.  

The National Parks were there to get the crowd dancing and singing 

- which they did and it was AWESOME!

So Kenz decided to keep her set a little more reverent... so to speak. 

A big thank you to Sarah Davies (Piano Place) for accompanying her on piano. 

Kenz started with The Dreamer since she loves the song's message and it is up beat.

She mashed up Saturn and Here Comes the Sun knowing that those two bands were favorites of the two students who died.  

And closed the night with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

I was proud of her performance.  

Her heart was so touched by the families and she admitted after 

that she struggled to keep her emotions in check -

 wiping away tears and trying to clear her nose to be able to sing 

in the middle of all three of her songs.  

Some performances mean a little more... this was one of those.

Utah Freedom Memorial Dedication

On Friday, May 16 at 7 p.m. the Utah Freedom Memorial will be unveiled on a spot just south of Sandy City Hall. There will be a public ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration, as part of Armed Forces Day 2014 celebrations.

“We want to create a place that will honor the lives of soldiers that have given their lives for our freedom as well as help our youth develop a full appreciation of our nation’s core values and the sacrifices that have been made to secure our freedoms,” memorial organizer Paul Swenson said. “This memorial will celebrate freedom and be a reverent place to honor men and women of all branches of the military and from all conflicts.”

The memorial was inspired by Adam Galvez who died in action in Iraq in 2006. Galvez’s parents wanted to pay tribute to their son as well as other soldiers who have died in the line of duty.

The memorial will be built adjacent to the Utah Healing Field 9-11 flag display lawn and directly north of the “Hope Rising” firemen at ground zero sculpture.
