2016 Queen of the Fair to host fundraiser concert

SUSSEX BOROUGH — The Concert will take place on Friday, June 2 from 6-7:30 p.m. at Saint Monica’s Church in Sussex New Jersey.
Kelly Wask, the reigning Miss Wantage and 2016 Queen of the Fair is back home in Sussex County after finishing her first year at Five Towns College in Long Island.
She has put a lot of thought into how she can use her reign as Sussex County’s queen to serve her community. Born with a passion for song and having had the opportunity to grow up in Sussex County, surrounded by the most inspiring Music Teachers, Choral Directors, Vocal Coaches and Talented Peers, Kelly has decided to host and perform at a concert featuring some of Sussex County’s greatest young talent.
All of the performers will be volunteering their time to make sure the night is a success. Some of the performers for the evening are Kelly’s former teammates and are students at Elisa Girlando Studios. As a coach, friend and mentor to Kelly, Elisa Girlando was happy to help her with this event. Other performers are Kelly’s friends, accomplished vocalists in our community that perform in school musicals and for the love of it.
Saint Monica’s Church in Sussex was Kelly’s first choice for the venue. Her parish community has been so warm and welcoming to her, she is at home there. Kelly was part of the Church Choir and cantered there for two years under the direction of Judith Consentino before leaving for college.
All proceeds will be divided equally and donated to the Wantage Animal Shelter and to Birth Haven. Kelly chose the Wantage Animal Shelter to help them care for and find homes for animals in her home town. She chose Birth Haven for the work they do in Sussex County providing shelter and appropriate services for homeless, pregnant girls and women.
In lieu of a formal admission charge, a donation can be made at the door prior to the start of the concert.
