We are never at a loss for entertainment here at the RV Park. There are often two or three nights a month of outside entertainment that they hire. And then there are things going on within the park that residents participate in.
Last Friday we had a night with Jimmy Smith 
from Pigeon Fork, TN who impersonates Elvis 
. I really think that he could do his own style and get a good crowd. I thought that part of his show would be his own style, but he did Elvis the whole show. He was good and got plenty of cheers for his gyrations 
. Gary even learned to use the video setting on his camera, but I have not learned how to get it into the Blog. So I will have to work more on that!

This is the lady 
here at The Oaks who plans these events and we are glad that she has good taste. We have enjoyed them all. She got one of Jimmy's scarves!

Jimmy was introduced by a ventriloquist, and his dummy, Alex 
as part of the evening's entertainment. It was a good show and it filled in for another entertainer who could not show as planned.

The following Tuesday they had Rocky and the Rollers 
who played and sang 50's and 60's music. They like many of the groups, had their share of fun and antics 
. However, I missed the picture of the base player on the floor with his base fiddle in the air! They were quite good and played for dancing as well as listening enjoyment. There were a lot who enjoyed the dancing 
. Our new friends, Cheryl and Gordon, 
from here in Red Barn were no exception. Cheryl even did the fast dances. But Gary and I know our limitations and just did the foot tapping and sing-a-longs. Cheryl and Gordon are from Michigan, near Grand Rapids and have wintered here for several years.

Then last evening we decided to check out a Jam Session here in the park where many got out their guitars and singing voices to entertain and enjoy 
. The musicians included banjos, drums, keyboard, sax 
and even one lady miming to a tape. She was funny playing the part of both the male 
and the female singers 
. And with all of the volunteers singing and playing, we were there for almost three hours. So there is never a shortage of things to do here, even movies.

In fact, Gary was at a Craft Show 
here today doing his drawing 
with the hope of getting more interest within the park for his type of art work. They do have a Wood Carvers group and a beginners class for painting occasionally. There is quilting also!

One of these days we will get out and do more sight seeing hopefully before we start north. Take care.
