Picnic Featuring Raquel Lily on August 25

Cottey College invites the public to attend the opening-of-school picnic and concert featuring Raquel Lily on Friday, August 25, at 5:30 p.m. in Raney Dining Room.

Her music can be described as indie-pop/rock with a jazz influence. Her clear, powerful voice perfectly complements her unique style and sound.
