Harford Fair To Hold Opening Ceremonies The Harford Fair will begin its week-long festivities with an inspirational “Ministry of Music” opening program on Sunday, August 17, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Main Arena.
The Spark Gospel Singers will bring a variety of Christian music, including traditional and contemporary gospel. Spark is a group of dedicated singers who have been spreading God’s word for 20 years. Started in 1981, the group has traveled extensively throughout Pennsylvania and parts of New York and New Jersey. A program of new music is prepared every year and debuts on the boardwalk in Ocean Grove, New Jersey where the group has traveled for the past 10+ years. They also prepare a program of Christmas music for the holiday season. Spark currently consists of about 15 singers, and over the years that number has varied from 8 to 18.
“all for One” is a male quartet from Montrose. The group is committed to a ministry of music that encourages believers and shares the good news of salvation to the lost. Their music is a mix of hymn arrangements, some contemporary arrangements, as well as southern gospel style songs that honor and praise the God they serve. Blending music, humor, and the spoken word, they have ministered in churches, senior citizens’ homes, banquets, fellowship suppers, wedding receptions, funeral and memorial services in the Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey area. Join for this special “Ministry of Music” program and be a part of the official opening of the 151st Harford Fair!

Jacobs Brothers At Great Bend Alliance The Jacobs Brothers of Dillsburg, PA, will appear in concert at the Great Bend Alliance Church on August 31 at 10:30 a.m. The Jacobs Brothers, veterans of gospel music, are dedicated to the ministry of spreading the gospel through music. Since 1962, the group has traveled millions of miles, produced more than fifty albums, and hosted many international tours. Presently, the Jacobs Brothers’ weekly television program is seen on WGCB, Red Lion, PA. The King’s Kids’ Camp, another branch of their ministry, provides a Christian camping experience for many underprivileged children each summer and also brings thousands of people to Central PA each July for a week of gospel music. The group is comprised of two brothers, Bob and Mike Jacobs, who are the original members of the group that started in the small town of East Berlin, PA in 1962. The third member, Mike Lawver, who joined the group in 1972, comes from McClure, PA. The word “versatility” best describes the Jacobs Brothers program. Although they specialize in traditional and sacred music, their approach to the gospel is varied by using the diversified talents of the singers throughout the concert. The end result is a program which is appealing to all ages in the audience. A free will offering will be taken for the Jacobs Brothers during the concert. For more information call 879–2741.
