Take a look below and on the following page at -,,hat we have planned for you now. 711, I- IF ENFIELD VALLEY GM2,11GE t/295 VARIETY SHOi7 April 5th, 1969 At the Grange Hall ALL LOCAL TALI ENT Some of the well known names oerfori.,2ing arc.- Lovelace Gray Brov,,rn Carlisle achilles Carpenter SOkIE OLDER! Krayniak Hubbell SOME YOUNG 1 (all young this night) Swartwood Laue Q ti �, � '7N XL Just to give you some idea of what will be going on April 5th, we will tell you that firs. & Mrs. frayn-iak will entertain us with some of their music. They will also play back-up on several of our other people as they sing or dance. People participating will range from 6 to 60 and this is honest fact. we have some- one wino.is 6 and someone who is over 60. One of our Junior Grangers will sing The Harper Valley PTA. Only a little more will be added to it to nuke it more interesting to you local folk. we have a chorus line and. -.a small drill team and a baton twirler and a piano player will -accompany two; -of our younger girls with one of today's -,--popular songs. These are all Junior Grangers. And just wait until you see_ the skit -the older ones are rehershing. Fred Swart- wood (who incidentially is in charge of the program) has picked out a cast of players consisting of Roger and Bev Brown, Blanch Lovelace, Janie Hubbell, and Fred, himself, as narrator. It's a comedy bit, and if you don't think Roger and Blanch aren't funny in _a love scene together, you'd better come to prove it to yourself. Roger Brown will also sing some serious songs during the evening. ._In one very beautiful song, he will be backed up by tha Junior Chorus. But just to keep you in suspense, we are not going to tell you the entire program. There are a couple of things on the agenda which you will really enjoy but we w, int to save them as aP surprise. As you can see, there is something for the entire family. There will be no admission charge because .we ara just beginners. However, we are going to leave a collection dish near the refresh- ment table for anyone wishing to donate to the Junior Grange cause. They are newly organized and every -little bit will help them start their''�spring and summer projects. It will last about an hour so bring all the children because it is:.primarily a children's program. rWe dedicate the following poem to all of you a:ho will be coming to watch us on April 5th. SMILING vlh�n the wether suits you not, Try smiling; When your coffee isn't hot, Try smiling. when your neighbors don't do right, Or your relatives .all fight, Sure tis hard, but -then you might --- Try smiling. Doesn't change the things, of course, Just smiling; But it cannot make them worse, Just smiling. And it seems to help your case, Brightens up a gloomy pla"cei Then, it sort o' rests your face -- Just smiling. Now to get on with past and present news of tic Grange.
