Larissa Flint of South Range and Jason McDowell of Superior plan to be married July 27, 2013, in Cathedral of Christ the King in Sup­erior.

Her parents are Rees and Sherri Flint of South Range. His parents are Jean Hackensmith of Gordon and the late George McDowell.

The future bride, a 2007 graduate of Northwestern High School in Maple, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Superior this year with a bachelor’s degree in music-voice performance and plans to attend New York University in New York City in September to pursue a master’s degree in voice performance-musical theater concentration.

Crowd support

Jason proposed on Dec. 7 in front of more than 300 people attending the reception following the UWS Acapella Choir’s Winter Concert. He enlisted the talents of the UWS Men’s Ensemble to perform a rendition of “Let Me Call You Sweetheart. “ I was completely taken by surprise and accepted his proposal to the supportive cheers of community members, fellow choir members, and their families.
