CROSSVILLE —
Fundraisers really can be fun. The Palace Theatre was very close to being sold out. Fair Park Senior Center would like to thank everyone who helped to make the second Crossville’s Got Talent a really great show. The talent was wonderful. Everyone did their best and were all winners. There are a lot of talented people in the area. They had a lot of kids in the show this year and are making some plans and changes to make the next show even better.
Thanks go out to D.J. and Donna Garrison for giving the show a touch of Hollywood, the judges, Crossville Chronicle, Family Ties, Gateway, Peg Broadcasting’s WOW Country 102.5 and 99.3 and their great announcers, Ronnie, Panama Jack and Stace.
The local Vietnam Veterans Chapter 1015 not only sponsored the show, but truly supported it. Several were there early and stayed late to help set up the stage, run spotlights and were stage hands. Thanks to Mike Nappes and his family, Sarge, Lou, Mike Matson and Cecil Smith. They were more than helpful and were greatly appreciated.
A special thank you goes out to Terry Ashburn and the whole Palace staff for their friendly helpfulness.
Thank you Crossville for your continued support to the Fair Park Senior Center. Your tax deductible donations are appreciated all year.
