Our committee really appreciates all the great feedback from the band posts – they were impressed with the range of the suggestions which helped remind us of some of the great bands we might forget.
While we also appreciate the support some bands get from their fans online, this isn’t a popularity contest – just because you get the most people to comment, doesn’t mean the band will automatically be booked.
Also, all bands who are interested in playing, should send us information on or before Nov. 1. This is for bands and agents only, not a good place for fans.

It seems the dust is still settling (or in our case this year, the park is still drying out) but believe it or not, we have our first meeting of the year to discuss entertainment tomorrow night – let us know who you want to see – it’s a tough job but we have a good group of committee members to help us out.
UPDATED:
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
One thing- We keep getting emails about people we should book – Please don’t use the contact the entertainer, or email us with your suggestions. It won’t help get your favorite band picked. Posting a comment is good enough.
The contact information on the entertainment page is for agents and entertainers ONLY! if you aren’t an entertainer, or an agent, this emails will just be deleted.
