Award-winning ‘For Heaven’s Sake’ to Perform at St. William’s on Long Point

For Heaven’s Sake, an award-winning female quartet who perform in the barbershop-style will perform at the Thursday Night on the Lake series at St. William’s on Long Point on July 28. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Commonly referred to as “Harmony Queens,” the Watertown-area quartet was named 1996 International Quartet Champion.

The program is free and open to the public, but due to limited space in the historic 1890’s church, and the need for boat transportation to St. William’s on Long Point, a boat access only site, reservations are required by calling (315) 354-4265.

The barge leaves the Raquette Lake village dock starting at 6 p.m. and returns after the performance at approximately 8:30 p.m.

In case of a severe storm the program will be held at the Raquette Lake School on Rt 28. A pie raffle is held each Thursday to help defray costs involved in hosting the entertainment series.
