OK!! Let us start rolling. We hope to welcome a crowd on Saturday August 7th as we highlight a grand re-opening. We are expecting a special guest from Graceland, who will entertain us in the afternoon... There will be a BBQ with Burgers and Sausages for sale, and we plan to reintroduce our draws. Let us see if we can get as many members and guests as the numbers will allow.
