Legacy Youth and Performance day








Over 60 area young people participated in impromptu stage performance and art creation. Sapulpa Public Schools brought original artwork and came away the winners of the day with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place cash awards. Musical talent from Norman and Stillwater was represented. Parents, friends and relatives brought food (fry bread, beans and homemade fries) that was shared and enjoyed by all. The kids took the stage taking turns at MC and song debuts.

We were honored when Cherokee Hughes, a junior at Sequoyah High, brought artwork by her boyfriend, Derrick Deere, who lost his life in a vehicle wreck a week after his graduation. Derrick was a fine artist. His talent will be remembered.

The pencil drawings shown here were rendered at the event. Thank you for all the help and attendance.
