The Hart Show Choir held their annual car wash fundraiser on Saturday in Hart High School’s parking lot. Money raised through purchased tickets and tips are intended to support their programming which includes performances, competitions, costumes, music, travel, and other program expenses.

A collective of students and parents spent the day washing numerous cars while occasionally joining in on the wet and playful fun themselves.
