Musical play-a-thon Saturday at Yuma Palms
The rescheduled Yuma County Music Educators Association Play-a-thon Benefit will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The original Jan. 26 date for the play-a-thon, to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Yuma, was canceled due to rain.
Free to the public, it will be held in The Village area in front of Harkins Theatres, 1321 S. Yuma Palms Parkway.
Music groups from three public school districts, several private schools and Arizona Western College will perform throughout the day.
During the performances, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity will collect household items to be sold at the Habitat ReStore, 3242 E. 43rd St. The volunteers will also collect aluminum and plastic for recycling.
