All ages were welcome to come and enjoy dinner and laughs as we
were entertained by antics and talents a la the 1970's TV show.

Entertainment coordinators Tanya Carroll and Ken Birmingham took
performance applications  (no talent too small).Dinner reservations
were made at the church, or directly with Carol MacGregor.  A meal
of "TV Dinners" was organized and provided by Presbyterian women.
    Thank You All for a fabulous Gong Show!

    Thanks to Our Sponsor, emcee, judges, performers (singers, dancers, accompanists, actors,
    acrobats, comedians, impersonators, instructors, personal trainers, etc), recruiters, sound and lighting
    engineers, camera operator, stage crew, setup volunteers, hosts, cooks, ticket takers, graphic artists,
    stage hands, and especially the audience for contributing their time, talent, offerings, and spirit to a
    real fun evening.

    It was a great fellowship event, not to mention an opportunity for folks to share just a little
    silliness.  If you would like to watch a video synopsis of the event click on this line.

    -Ken Birmingham, A.K.A. 'The Producer"
    PS: I edited the show down from about 70 minutes long to just under 20 minutes - I just couldn't
    bear to cut any more out of those fabulous routines!
