Sarah Getto at Fun Valley

Sarah Getto made her 2nd annual appearance at Fun Valley this year. Sarah is a very talented country and gospel singer who, in our opinion, will one day be a star.


Sarah and her Mom and Dad arrived on Wednesday, July 9. She performed on Saturday and Sunday of the following weekend.


We attended all performances. By arriving a few days early, she was able to meet many Fun Valley people and made many new friends. We were blessed to be able to get to know Sarah and her family.


As her Dad puts it, Sarah sings like a bird..... and plays the keyboard and fiddle, and I think she also plays guitar (not sure about that). What makes her so special is that she was born blind and with a severe cleft pallet. She has had many surgeries to build a roof in her mouth and an upper lip and has finally gotten front teeth for the first time (last year). Sarah is 24 years old. This handicap has not hindered her talent in any way. She is amazing!


Her Mom and Dad discovered that she was musically gifted and gave her every advantage that they could. She started playing the piano at the age of 3. They have a sound studio in their home and Sarah creates all her music (CDs) there . She creates her background music and harmonizes with herself creating a beautiful sound (putting sound tracts together).

If you discover that Sarah is in your area. Delton and I highly recommend anyone to go to her performances. She tours the country and has visited many states already this year.
