"Swing For The Kids 3"
Our closing act for this year's festival was chosen after
Leslie & I saw her in concert at the Hard Rock, in front
of
a crowd that would not let her leave the stage. We spoke
to her managment company, headed by Melissa Foxx,
whom many of you would recognize from her shows with Real
Radio 104.1, and asked if we could get Linda to help
us with our project for the kids. Melissa, we love you for
all of your help! And now, for our headline entertainment
for "Swing For The Kids, 2004!! We give you:
To even
begin to explain to anyone who was not lucky
enough to
be at Linda's show, terms like, "What a night!"
and "What
a show!" , have to be used. Her band was tight,
and she
opened her performance with a great acoustic
set that
made the crowd feel as though they were sitting alone with her. By time the
whole band came out on stage, Linda had already won her place in the hearts
of the audience. Here just a few photos that cannot begin to
capture
the magic of this great young star on the rise:
V-Man,
you rock!!!
Linda, Thank
You so much, for helping us help the kids
who need
our help the most! Your performance was one
we
will always remember.
Please
come back & visit us again.
And as the
bands started to tear down their gear, and the shuttle buses began to take
the audience back to their cars,
we said
goodbye to another fabulous weekend at Minneola
Trailhead
Park. We cannot say enough to thank the staff of the City of Minneola,
the staff of Events Unlimited,
the sponsors
of our weekend, the great B-B-Q teams who
competed
for the State Championships, Judy Otterbacher, with her great carnival midway,
and our many Elks and
friends
like Bill & Susan Mims, and Richard & Tracy
Maline,
Richie Parker, and so many others who lent
their
talents, time & resources to our weekend for the
kids.
Especially, the City of Minneola, who allowed us
to
host our event for misfortunate children in their
beautiful
city park. To one and all, we say "Thank
You!"
and express the hope that you will allow us
to
be apart of your Minneola Fall Festival next year!
And
now, just a few of our Elks & friends who worked
so
hard to make this weekend come together for the
children
of Florida Elks Children's Therapy Services:
We
thank God, we thank the City of Minneola,
we
thank all of the bands, we thank Red & Cathy Slack with Positive Power
Productions, we thank
