On January 9th, 2016 the Patricia Lindley Center for the Performing Arts officially celebrated its Grand Opening. This very special one-night-program began with an old-fashioned ribbon cutting followed by performances from some of Wellington, Ohio's most talented residents, including Lisa and Tim Manning, Steve Brown, Nancy and William Davis, Emily Waters, past winners of 'The Star', and the Wellington First Congregational United Church of Christ's Bell Choir. Produced and directed by local veteran performer, Jeff Brown, and hosted by Wellington's own Samantha Stump and Dave Conklin.
