Tent Set-Up Helpers Needed
The SPY’s are looking for a crew of helpers to set-up the big tent that will be the headquarters for the Dime Pitch Booth activity during the Farmer’s Picnic. The tent is scheduled to go up on Thursday, August 17th at the Park. Volunteers will be needed starting at 6 PM. For more information, please contact Zeke Cappon at 517-331-3360.
Then, on Friday, August 18th, we need some helpers to assist in actually setting-up the glassware in the booth. Volunteers are needed starting at 8 AM. This will be a very light, easy task.

Centennial Acres Is Hiring
Notice #3
Heads-Up! This Is Hot Off The Press!
The legendary Art Meade is again sponsoring what he is calling “The Annual Remember When 50’s and 60’s Sock Hop”. This year it will be held on Saturday, October 7th, at the “Ever After” facility in Hastings, which is located by the bowling alley on North Michigan.
He has again booked the absolutely fabulous “Misty Blues Party Band” out of Detroit. They are great! It’s a 7-piece band, with a horn section and 2 female singers.
There will be snacks and soft drinks provided. A cash bar will be available
Last year the dance was held at the Hugue House by Lake Odessa. But, it had a limited capacity, so tickets were restricted to 100 people and it sold out quickly. The “Ever After” facility is larger and will easily be able to accommodate the demand.
Again, all tickets are by advance sale only. There will be no tickets sold at the door. Tickets will be available soon, so keep watching your Newsletters.
For now, if you need any further information contact either Art Meade. 269-331-0661, or John Fisher 517-648-0969.
