A video presentation of the remembrances of the Kiss concert at ONU will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, exactly 40 years after the performance. The program, free and open to the public, will be held in Dicke Building.
A class taught by Jimmy Wilson has worked this semester in researching the event and interviewing those who attended.
People are coming from all over the local area and from far away, such as San Francisco, to see the concert documentary.
