Dear Friends,

My Silver Lake Band and I will be returning to Silver Dollar City in 2012. It will be our 16th consecutive year to do Missouri's Biggest Barn Dance. However, next year, our engagement there will not be in October, as in the past few years. We will be there in September. The dates are September 13-30, 2012. The times each day will be 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. We will be the only band used next year, so this will be the only barn dance held there in 2012. We will again be in the Red Gold Heritage Hall.

I will not be publishing a U.S. Mail Newsletter until next spring, so please pass the news to anyone you know who does not have email. Also, remember our upcoming Western Swing Christmas Ball in Winfield, Kansas on December 10, 2011 (call 620-222-2154) and our New Years Eve Dance on December 31, 2011 at the Prairie Rose in Benton, Kansas (call 316-778-2121).
