The Cass County Community Foundation sold Valentine’s Day serenades as part of its 2012 “Give Your Heart to the Community” campaign.

In exchange for a $100 contribution, the foundation’s Valentine singers delivered a live serenade to a loved one. The volunteer troubadours made 23 stops Tuesday to spread Valentine’s Day cheer.

They started the day just after 8 a.m. at Logansport Memorial Hospital, and they finished it in late afternoon at Miller’s Merry Manor.
