The past 4 years we have gathered musicians together and done a outdoor Summer concert at a place we try to sing most regularly 2 times a month which is Karen's Place in Harbor Beach.(A home for folks with a variety of disabilities) The Owner Karen has 7 other homes (one home as far away as Saginaw) and brings all the folks from her other homes and her family too to enjoy a Big Picnic, the concert and HAVE LOTS OF FUN dancin' singing along and enjoying a nice summer day !!!This year we were blessed to have the group Thumb Printz, Frank,Don, & Jim Burgett and Clarence and Lawrence Ewald a Country Gospel Group from the THUMB of Michigan, (they are great and have great harmonies and really have a lot of joy when they sing!!!) Tim Hornbostel a young man who is a country singer/guitar player from Harbor Beach (maybe he will be the next Randy Travis), and Richard Roberts a fantastic banjo player from Harbor Beach. Now I would like to tell you about something fun we do at the concert . We had a Cd that we play throughout the day during intermissions and band changes my favorite song on this Cd is-- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. We GIRLS (not boys) gather our pom pons together and dance in a big circle to this song, it is a blast!!!! I love watching ladies/girls from the age of 11-93 dance and have fun!!!! Two years ago we had a 93 year old girl who sings too as she lifts her pon poms in the air singing "Girls, Girls, Fun, Fun!!!!!" We love to see girls and boys of all ages love to have fun . (Including us!!!! We are just 2 big kids at heart!!!)It is our hope an prayer that wherever we go that we will help people to feel young again and have fun and see Jesus love and joy through us!!!
