“Louisville is a big town but with a small-town vibe, which I love,” said Pride of Kentucky Chorus member Paige Dodson. “It’s got something for everyone...eclectic and diverse from traditional to non-traditional."
Louisville’s Pride of Kentucky Chorus looks forward to welcoming Sweet Adelines to their beautiful city! Here's their list of recommendations for you to experience during international convention week...
