Someday We'll Find It...The Rainbow Connection

I said I would disclose the Elks Big Show 'after' the fact; well it's come and gone with Clay Center's version of the Muppet Show. (It's time to start the music; it's time to light the lights) Thanks to any of you who might have made it to the show this past Saturday. Those of us on the committee and those on stage hope it was a fun time.
As much fun as the show is and the people I get to work with are; it's nice to have a few more nights open; in fact Zach and I will be at Bramlage tonight to watch the Cats go for six straight wins! (Thanks Tim for the tickets).

You know what...you should go have a great day!!

BIG SHOW

It's a crazy time for a lot of people in Clay Center right now. Saturday night marks the 18th Elks Big Show. There's been a committee working toward this night since October; hopefully it will be a fun night for another sold out show. What is the Elks Big Show; well it's a chance for ametuers (some of us with very little talent) to step on stage in front of people and grab the spotlite for a while. There have been shows put on at the Clay Center Elks that have spoofed, Johnny Carson, WKRP, The Wizard of Oz, Cheers, Saturday Night Live...it's a long list of themes and characters portrayed.
There are some amazing people to work with; and somehow it comes together for that one night and people appear to enjoy the majority of it...hopefully the crowd---AND the Cast---will have some fun.
I can't share anymore than that; maybe we'll discuss what all happened in the show next week.
Have a great day,
Rocky Downing
