I'd like to offer a huge big thank you for all participants in this evening's events. Thank You to Linda and Dean Stock for ordering, taking payments and picking up pizza for us. Thanks to all the salad potluck folks. Thanks to those of you who brought yummy desserts. AND the big thank you goes to the Variety Show volunteer performers. Al Woods once again entertained us with his versatile VASE. Chris Jones and new member, Beth Mathews are now frequent shoppers of the local thrift stores and purchased props for the Jones breakfast routine and the Fancy Yancy act. Last minute understudies Jan and Tim Lynch performed brilliantly behind a white sheet with Beth and Kerry Mathews along with Grandma Chris Jones, who we learned tonight smokes! The very talented Dave Reavis entertained us with serious dulcimer music selections and he informed us of the history of the instrument. He was the only act to actually receive a call for an encore! The Colorado Chick (Patty) and hubby John Wilson caused us laughter with their humorous improvisation act. My sides still hurt. Good sports Wendy Lawrence and Bernie Dobrin entertained us with a grand finale sing along of "We find RVing fun." We are indeed Framily!
A roast toasting the 60th birthday of Terry Brewer was a tribute to the child in each of us. Following gag gifts we danced the hokey pokey, the twist, the bunny hop and the hand jive. I've been watching too much Dancing with the stars. Thanks to Sam for serving ice cream, Linda Sharp for hiding cake and delivering it on cue. May birthdays of Marlene Dobrin, Jerry Fitzgerald and Ardra Fitzgerald were acknowledged. Gosh I love forum rallies! Photos to follow.
