The weekly Concerts on the Campus series is in full swing at Wenatchee Valley College.

The series replaces Concerts in the Gardens, which was suspended last year because of the pandemic. RLS plans to restart Concerts in the Gardens at some point and is looking for an appropriate venue to seat several hundred people.

Overall, the shows have so far raised $65,500 for the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation in recent years, with a goal of reaching $100,000.
