Peg and Lamont Hill: We Salute You!
Longtime supporters feted at Gala
Long time volunteers, Lamont and Peg Hill, were saluted at CTG's Gala held at the theatre the night of June 28.
Friends old and new gathered under cover of a fund-raising Gala, and it wasn't until the show started that Peg and Lamont were told this party was in their honor. Turntables were turned, and the Hills took their place at 1:00, and enjoyed the songs and merriment from seasons past.
Pictures from the evening can be found here.
