Helen Curtis our "Card Lady" is home after her surgery and doing great! No cards up to sign,
there's a policy that when folks have been gone from the park for several years that a card will not be made but there are several folks from years passed who would appreciate a card from some who remember them, one of them is Dorothy Skovbo, she has pancreatic Cancer, and also Bob Sexton is doing poorly and thinking of you cards from individuals would be nice, if you so desire to send one.
Entertainment:Brock and Adrianne in Mexico this morning and Judy read what he had to say about the entertainment, The Williams will perform Friday night,
Williamson Branch is a family band and, like most families, they are rich in tradition, ripe with potential, and diverse in taste. This family has a love for each other and music. That love makes each performance special. Williamson Branch plays music that is mostly bluegrass, sometimes country, often times gospel, but always fresh and exciting. Their vocals soar with a closeness that can only be found in blood relatives. Their instrumentation is impressive.Their laughter is contagious. Their clog dancing is exhilarating and their personalities are sparkling!
Dance chairs are Craig/Dana Daves & Brock/Adrienne Laing. tonight will be Roger Knaston providing the music. Price is $6 pp. There's still sign up sheet if you could help with 50-50 ticket sales or concessions. The attendance at our first dance was real good, 120 people showed up. also Craig brought in the new advertising sign to go in front of the park to advertise certain Park events that are open to the public. Also Craig and Dana have a sign-up sheet in the back of the hall if you would like to go on a Dinner Cruise out of South Padre. they have a 47 people limit on how many can go. It's $49.00 pp and is on Feb 28th. The boat is a Katamaran.
