Entertainment chair Brock Laing said it's been a stressful week. (1) No water at last week's dance when he was in charge of “poop patrol” and now “one guy no longer allowed in park!” (2) melted ice cream. On a happier note, we had the largest crowd we've ever had for Friday entertainment except for parkwide talent show 7 yrs. Ago.
Saving the BEST to the end, come enjoy Southern Anthem this Friday. It's the final show of the season, $7 pp. This is a family show with 11 yr. old Logan playing fiddle. Brock says Logan is better than anyone he has heard!


Wendy, Derek, Mikaela and Logan Pausewang, collectively known as Southern Anthem, bring a fresh sound to long-time country and gospel favorites. From church auditoriums, fairs and festivals, to Branson, national television appearances, and requests from Nashville and beyond, the demand for their unique family harmony now has them traveling across the US.

What started as a need to have interim talent at a local theater production has grown into a full time profession. Although the group began singing in church years ago, they never dreamed it would lead to the calling that God placed in their hearts. The band has a growing audience spanning from the youngest to oldest of fans enthralled by the talent of the Pausewang family. Now, with the debut of their 3rd album with the original title track, "Savior Save Me", they have even more to offer their fans.

Potluck is held prior to Friday shows, Bruce/Billie Wells chair. Bring dish to share & table service, 5 p.m.
To clear up any confusion on this Thursday's 9 a.m. meeting at the Hidalgo Bridge, Brock explained this is NOT to organize work groups to build the wall. It is an open invitation to winter Texans & their Mexican friends to meet in the middle of the bridge for fun, friendship, and food! It will be well secured.


Dance chair Dana Daves said if not for Laings she & Craig would never have volunteered to take over dances. She reminded all to come dance tonight, $6 pp.with Diego playing.

Next Monday will be The ReganJames Band/Hired Hand













Brock said FREE movie this week is “Soul Surfer”. A note for the fellows .. you will see scantily clad females of the younger variety. It's the last movie of the season.
Do we have anyone who has volunteered to do Saturday breakfasts? Weren't the omelets by Dave/Pat Printy & committee wonderful? Over 100 attended each week they prepared the omelets. Pat thanked those who came, their helpers, and in particular Rollo & Arlene Fisher who furnished the bacon.
A standing ovation & many many thanks was given for all the work our Canadian friends Brock & Adrienne Laing do! It would be impossible to list all the things they have done to see that we seniors are entertained all season. We know they are the reason we are the BEST park in The Valley. We voted to give them a monetary reimbursement in appreciation.
