(HAGERSTOWN, MD) The Washington County Museum of Fine Arts will present the
Handbell Choirs: Little Heiskel Ringers and Haven Handbells in a program of
seasonal music, with eleven ringers and 37 bells, on Sunday, December 10,
2006 at 2:30pm.
Little Heiskel Ringers, a nondenominational community handbell choir,
consists of church choir members, homemakers, business persons and retired
professionals who perform throughout the region. The Haven Handbells are
members of Haven Lutheran Church and present monthly concerts. Both choirs
