Next Saturday is the Iowa High School Speech Association’s Large Group All-State Speech Festival.

The festival differs from the district and state contests, as performances are not judged, but do have a critic sit in to share advice. Several schools from all over the state will make their way to Iowa State University in Ames to take turns throughout the day. One team from Adair – Casey / Guthrie Center will be performing their Group Mime, “Seams, Smoke, and Silence.” Their performance will take place at 2:15pm.
