A film festival highlighting diverse perspectives on disability is coming to Lake City this Sunday at the Mountaineer Theater. For KVNF, Laura Palmisano brings us details on the event. It starts at 5:30pm with a BBQ followed by live music. The first film shows at 6:30pm. Tickets are available online.

For one week each summer, a group of violinists converge in the tiny mountain town of Lake City. They've been coming for the past five years. As KVNF's Laura Palmisano reports, they come to improve their craft and make their music accessible to the community.
