Volunteers make it happen!

      Dedicated volunteers work very hard preparing and serving food to what seems to be an endless line. They cheerfully clear tables so that there is always somewhere to sit and eat. They work long hours, but still had a smile to share. These folks definitely understand and achieve Italian hospitality!  They most certainly deserve a round of applause!

     The Collegians have been playing shows, dances, fairs and festivals for over 30 years. This band, known for "Carolina Beach Music" has become well diversified in musical styles. Just as the Carolina beach music tradition has evolved to embrace several styles of music, so have The Collegians. While still providing plenty of good shaggin' tunes, the band incorporates some infectious "Soul" and R&B grooves The great songs recorded at Motown, Atlantic, ATCO, Stax, Volt, Chess, Polydore and many others make up the musical focus of the Collegians! To This core we add carefully selected current pop, party and country titles. Click on the photo above to find out more about The Collegians.

Willie Nelson Tribute Artist

     Encouraged by his friends and family, Casey Ferguson, began his tribute of Willie Nelson in 1990. Casey's resemblance to Willie does not stop at the long blend of auburn/salt & pepper hair, beard and bandana. His audiences at fairs, casinos, special events, major fund raisers, conventions, & Honky-Tonks throughout the world are captivated by a voice that is undeniably "Willie. Casey is also the manager of the "Willie Nelson General Store" and "Outlaw Museum" in Nashville, TN.
