Friday June 26th. With a large dance floor and great drinks, come mingle with our nations hero’s. We usually have a great dance crowd. Membership is not needed, but you will need to sign in. No charge for members, but donations strongly encouraged to keep the dances going. I dont remember the cost to non members so be ready for that. Dance from 8-11
Mike Warren and JR join in the fun with Dave and myself.
Glad we had some time off, as Kimmie needed time to heal a fractured hand. Oof-Da!!!!! See you for some great dance music on the 26t!h!!!!
Put us in your favorites and pull us right up. We are adding dates all the time and the calendar is constantly evolving. Book a bbq with us! ps. you cook!
8 SECOND ROCKS!!! Also!!!
If you know of a venue that needs country music new or old or even oldies rock, let us know & let them know about us bands. As you may have noticed the club market for live country bands is tight & all the musicians appreciate your support.
And if you want a live band for your birthday party, BBQ, wedding or just for the heck of it, call the bands. Prices vary & live music makes for a great time!
Do remember that EAGLES, ELKS and the other Fraternal lodges need to have you sign in if you are not a member. If you frequent these places please consider membership. They all do great charity work, support scholarships and work closely with local causes. They do have limits on signing folks in (by law) and may have to refuse entry after a number of visits. Membership is not usually expensive and your membership helps support them. Participation in things are by choice and will not be forced upon folks. Support them as they book your live dance music, host karaoke, host DJ nites, shows, bingo and put on dinners. You will meet new friends!!
Do good things --join them!!!
COME GET YER DANCE ON!!!!!
