Well, here we go with the 51st event in 10 years ! |

The people sitting down in the front row told us they wanted to hear
"lounge" music. |

Even Clarkston has the hope candle. We saw this before at the Rochester
event. |

Since it was a different location, everyone kind of looked around as if
it were a strange place. |

Aww .. the little hope girl is so cute ! |

The Clarkston/Waterford committee on stage. We still have to get used to
saying, "Clarkston-Waterford" |

Kelsey reads her poem. |

Kelsey has a wonderful voice.. |

..and ruby slippers to go along with her rendition of "Somewhere Over
the Rainbow". |

This kid just wanted to boogie. |

Instead of brown-bagging it... |

...you simply super-size black-bag it! |

Hey, you are not supposed to be in the middle of the field! |

Oh wait, the exception was for events like the three-legged race. |

"M-m-m-m-m, COOKIES!" |

The Irish maids all in a row. |

Some of these girls were actually from Ireland. |

The balloon in the background was waiting to take us up, up and away in
our beautiful ballon. |

More from the Irish dancers |

Still more from this most excellent group of dancers. |

Someone said, "if there is a rock to climb .. by garrrr, we will climb
it!". |

These guys were a really good time band. |

Oh yes, did we mention they are the "Good Tymes Band" |

A face melting, heart pounding, gut-busting guitar solo. The bass player
is watching to learn it. |

He is thinking about Susan Dey. She was the most awesome tambourine
player of her time. |

If you needed a haircut that day, they were ready for ya. |

This giant Strawberry Shortcake creature is saying "Hello!" |

Some views from the stands at Pierce Middle School. |

Middle view .. |

Right view (from the stands). |

Some of these campsites were really well decorated. We did not hear of
any contests though. |

Of course Frank's Frogs was there. They would never miss it. |

This event wasn't going to be the same without Joe and Don from Midnight
Music there...and then we looked up...and there they were! They
stopped by just to see us! |

A small, but energetic dance crowd. |

Everyone needs a rainbow colored umbrella hat. This is an idea ACS. When
can we expect to see them? |

Renee is the leader of the Irish dance troupe that entertained us that
day. They were there from 12:30 - 3:00 or so. |

Great Harmony, Standard Songs, Bad Jokes...your typical barbershop
chorus! The name of this group as "B Natural". |

Elvis, as it turns out, has a wife named Jane, not Priscilla! |

Elvis, as it turns out, is not dead! |

Elvis, as it turns out, can still swing'em like he did in the 60s. |

Elvis, as it turns out, can still charm the ladies! |

Lance, as it turns out, has a hug for you! |

The Jim and Lance Show fan club always makes an appearance. |

We warned them that a large "Flock of Seagulls" was flying overhead and
that they better look out, or run so far away. |

Jim, as it turns out was waiting for a hug from the cute girls behind
the camera. |

Ah .. the group dance. |

More fun than anything else at these events. Too bad it is only one hour
long .. hmm. |

Jim reacting to the fact that Lance just put on the wrong song .. |

We have no idea what these people were doing .. |

But they seemed to have a lot of fun doing it. |

Lance bids you all a fond farewell from Clarkston ..Waterford. See you
next year at .. Clarkston. |
