Listeners were captivated by musicians performing a variety of genres on February 16, 2014 at the historic Fargo Theatre. It was the 17th annual Celebration of Women and Their Music, a nonprofit event featuring regional female musicians. Area female high school seniors apply for celebration awards, which are presented during the show.

For event founder Deb Jenkins, the event is about “Community supporting community and it's a great way to give back once a year.” Jenkins added that she is humbled by and grateful for the community support. [AWM]
