Special Event

     And now for something completely different.  We've tried a tethered Hot Air Balloon for the last 3 parties, all without success because of the weather.  So enough of that.  This year we're starting the party later, and adding music in the evening, but still leaving time at the beginning for swimming, playing a few games and just hanging around.  This year our Special Event is:

 

THE GREAT PRETENDERS

          

     Started in 1970, The Great Pretenders is a Northwest rock 'n' roll band that just keeps rollin' on.  As with the rest of us, a lot has changed over the last 40 years--29 musicians have played with the group (including QA '66 grads Frank Emerson and Rick Nordquist).  And while the group has evolved over the years, their music has stayed true to the 1950's, 60's & 70's.

     Music starts at approximately 7:00 p.m.  Introduction and Honorary Master of Ceremonies: 

Doug Streib, QA '68 

     The current lineup for The Great Pretenders is:   

Charlie Hollis - Vocals

Art Pederson - Guitar

Steve Vincent - Keyboards

Dan Mohler Bass, Vocals

Mike Scruggs - Drums, Vocals

Brad Cyrier - Vocals

Jere Knudtsen - Saxophone, Vocals

Bruce Anderson - Sound

The New Old Farmhouse

            

     August Festival "veterans" will remember that the first two August parties (1995/96) were held when we were living in the old 1912 farmhouse at the front of the property.  Earlier this year we did some remodeling and moved the NurseryTrees.com office to the old farmhouse, plus added a pool table and a TV "lounge".  The farmhouse will be open during the party.
