I have also added photos from karaoke (50s night) and a few other random karaoke photos i had on my camera. I am needing photos and information from the Benefit we just held the first of July as well as some other information and as soon as i get that ill be updating this site again.

Had to re-do the database and use a newly updated theme as wordpress likes to update its software but often times everything else just kind of gets neglected, so got everything working and all up 2 date! I will be updating information on the upcoming Picnic when i get that information as far as times and entertainment is concerned so stay tuned you can subscribe to a reader by hitting the RSS feed button the right to get notified of any of updates!
