About this concert
Enjoy dinner and a show including beverages and our award-winning pie in our concert venue located behind the bakery. In 2008 Ivan recorded a very special song entitled “I Choose” which topped the charts at the number #1 position. This message became universal for Ivan and his audience as the lyrics of hope and encouragement rang out to a hurting world that they have the power to choose life over death, joy over sorrow and Faith over hopelessness. “The choice we have to follow God in the good times and the bad is easy once we make the decision to simply chose God.” For a list of all events happening at the Hartville Kitchen, please Click Here!
