Barbershoppers on Front Page of
Huntington Herald-Dispatch

by John Byerly, JAD VP of Marketing & PR

On my way home from another great JAD convention this morning, I spotted a familiar site in an unfamiliar place.  Staring at me through the window of a Huntington Herald-Dispatch newspaper kiosk was a photo of barbershoppers entertaining the public at the “Mass Sing” on Pullman Square in Huntington.  Great marketing job by Huntington Tri-State host Steve Patrick who arranged for the media coverage!  Here is a link to the article on the Huntington Herald-Dispatch website.  Thank you Steve and everyone from the Huntington Tri-State and Charleston chapters for helping JAD celebrate 75 years of barbershop harmony.
