APRIL 21, 2011
GRINTER BARN JAMBOREE


WHAT A SHOW!! Our "ROCK & ROLL" special wildly exceeded greatest expectations. I thought the barn would burst at the seams, there was barely any standing room left.
I don't know how many great fans came out but everyone there seemed to have a really good time. I believe there was only one song performed that was not from the '50's; that was Garry's "Northern Star" sang by Dave Purcell. He said he had a special request for it. The Sloppy Jo and Root Beer Float really hit the spot.

We will return to the Grinter Barn for a Jamboree on Thursday, May 19. Please plan to join us then for another great show. I will post the menu as soon as I get it.

The Stranger Creek Band will perform at the Spring Fling in DeSoto KS from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM on Saturday, April 30.

Also, start making your plans to journey with us to the Wahoo Music Fest in Wahoo Nebraska on June 23 - 26. That is always a good time.

A BIG Thank You to Alice Jenkins for the photos below.

Our newest & Most Amazing Dancers


When Warren Haycock and Ginger Arn take the dance floor it is with every one's riveted attention. The faster the song, the better they like it. Sometimes Warren, (85 years young) gets tired and needs to take a short break and Ginger usually has someone else waiting for the next dance. She dances every fast dance and sometimes a slow one. When told it was amazing the way she can dance all night, she quickly replied "I don't know why, I'm only 96 years old!'. They love to rock & roll and Ginger loves to twirl and spin around the floor. When I asked her how often they danced, she answered "he will tell you 6 times a week but we often make it 7 nights a week." She plans to dance on her 100Th birthday in 4 years. We should all be inspired by the enthusiasm and joy of life these two kids show us all!
