Did you ever wonder if state Sen. Kim Ward can carry a tune? Or if Westmoreland County Commissioner Ted Kopas sings tenor or bass?

Now you have a chance to find out.

Westmoreland Diversity Coalition is hosting a “Westmoreland Has Talent” karaoke fundraiser at 5 p.m. March 2 at Ferrante’s Lakeview, 6153 Route 30, Hempfield. In addition to the entertainment, the evening will include dinner and dancing.

Joining Ward and Kopas at the microphone will be these community leaders:

There also will be surprise performances. Trooper Stephen Limani, public relations officer for the Pennsylvania State Police, will emcee.

“The lineup of leadership talent promises to keep our guests entertained throughout the evening,” Paige says.

Proceeds from the event will support the coalition’s operations and educational programming that addresses appreciation and understanding of difference, inclusion and diversity.
