Menasha to host Power of One fest

The Power of One, an annual one-day Christian music festival, is moving from the spacious confines of the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon to the more intimate Menasha High School Field House.

Power of One will feature the Creation Festival: The Tour at the 19th annual event Oct. 18. Doors will open at noon.

"We've never really focused on where the event is held; rather we focus on who the event is for," said Tammy Borden, communications director for Life Promotions, the organization presenting the event.

"This event is about offering youth the opportunity to grow in their faith and love for God. That doesn't happen in a venue; it happens in their hearts."

Holding Power of One, however, at the Menasha Field House is not a new endeavor.

"We held the event at Menasha Field House about 10 years ago," Borden said. "While the Resch Center has been a great venue to host the event for the past several years, we chose to evaluate this year's event to see how we could provide tickets to our attendees at a lower cost in these difficult economic times. Because of the move we are able to offer ticket prices for nearly $10 less than we have in the past.

"We've been promoting the event as going 'old school' as far as pricing, but also in regards to the venue. We're excited for the more intimate atmosphere that the Menasha Field House will be providing, yet we're still offering a top- notch tour with full production."

The Power of One event will be headlined by BEC Recordings band Kutless, with special guests Thousand Foot Krutch and Pillar. The lineup is rounded out by female-fronted rockers, Fireflight, Run Kid Run and Integrity's Worth Dying For. KJ-52 will also perform and serve as MC for the night. Bob Lenz will present a keynote address. A special "pre-show" will kick off the event, featuring performances by Esterlyn and Capital Lights.

The Creation Tour will make stops in 30-plus cities across the Northeast, Midwest and South and will include an element of local outreach in each city. The goal is to not only provide an evening of music and ministry, but also present an opportunity to impact the local community. The outreach event for Menasha will encourage attendees to bring a new or gently used coat to donate to the Coats for Kids program through the Salvation Army.
