“The outage only affected the high school, and we were quickly able to restore power to the site by rerouting the power. We are currently [as of Monday] making repairs to the damaged cable.”
The concert, which had raised about $900 for the Salvation Army’s food bank, featured singing talent from South Cantabrians of all ages, highland dancing, and a brass band.
George said the school’s 400-seat auditorium was packed with carolers while others, including rest home residents and people from Australia, caught the concert online.
