Piano show kicks in Christmas weekend

Although winter can often be a slower time of year for communities in the snowy Midwest, Hazen hopes to maintain some level of the activity that usually comes in the warmer months.
On Dec. 21, Hazen City Hall will host the 176 Keys Fun Pianos Show.
“They bring their own pianos with them,” Antoinette Heier, Hazen Chamber of Commerce executive director, said. “They’re out of Nebraska. They provide hard-rocking, sing-along fun.”
Doors open at 8 p.m. for a social hour, with the concert starting at 9 p.m. and running for about two hours.
This is the second year in a row for Hazen to try hosting a December event in the community. Shortly after becoming the chamber director last August, Heier made plans to try and bring more life into the winter months.
“We want to be consistent with a winter event to bring people out of their homes, to get people together for a community event, and to attract visitors to Hazen,” she said.
With the successful Kat Perkins concert last year, Heier decided to continue working to bring winter events in the future.
