Title: Patriotic Event for Seniors
Post by: Ryk Rakham on April 29, 2010, 06:58:48 AM
Hi all,

I am a long-time Faire traveller and have met many of you along the way. I am looking for folks who might be interested in performing in Decatur, TX on Friday July 2, 2010. I am Community Liaison for a large Nursing Home there and we are throwing a big celebration party for the 100+ residents, their families, our employees and local business folk. I am hoping for a pipe and drum troupe and perhaps other types of entertainment. This is not Ren or Medieval related really, but will be a special event for some special folks. I'm on a tight budget and might only be able to provide gas money, but it might be a chance to sell a few CDs and/or promote your group to an audience of several hundred. The biggest part of the party will begin late afternoon and continue to dark with fireworks. More information later. If you have an inkling that you feel a "call" to do this, contact me at rickwilsonsd@yahoo.com

Hi folks, an update. It looks like we have a bellydance troupe and some other entertainers lined up for our event. I know in this day and time it's hard to think of "volunteering" for anything with the economy the way it is. But, we still would love to have a pipe and drum group to perform for our residents in Decatur on July the 2nd. Again, we might be able to swing some gas money and we will feed anyone who comes and participates. Thanks, and I'll watch for emails.... rickwilsonsd@yahoo.com

Wish it was near Memphis, TN.  I could get my Civil War artillery group to bring the cannon!
Ask around and you might find one near you.
