A special guest was present at the Depot Lane Singers winter concert, "Masters in This Hall," on Saturday evening as Congressman Chris Gibson - who was invited to attend and had reserved seats - was one of the very first members of the audience to rise for a standing ovation at the conclusion of the performance.

Bringing along his two daughters Congressman Gibson stayed after the event, which was hosted at the Schoharie Central School inside the gymnasium, to talk with concert-goers over punch and cookies. The two-term Congressman has represented Schoharie County since January, 2013 and has appeared frequently at local events and meetings.
