Crossroads of Harmony has become a steadfast Genesee County Christmas tradition in the last 15 years.
With an ever-growing number of singers from Genesee County and the surrounding counties, its four-part harmonic, a cappella songs create warmth and wonderful Christmas imagery.
"Our goal is, and has always been, to bring smiles and positive energy tothose who are listening to us through the use of barbershop (-style singing)," says Beth Allen, a member for the past six years.
They sing at a variety of venues -- including festivals, hospitals, nursing facilities, apartment complexes and schools -- and help create an atmosphere of joy and "meaning" with each performance, which can range from 30 minuntes to an hour.
"We love to watch the transformation that occurs within our audiences," Allen said. "When we first arrive, we often see a group of individuals who are having a so-so day. Then we turn it into a sparkling, memorable day with smiles and laughter."
