In September we will sponsor a Salmon BBQ. A live band will keep us young while we dance to the tunes of the golden years of Rock-n-Roll. Local artists Jimmy Wright and Norm Peterson will take you back to those memorable years. Come see Jimmy play the guitar and sing your favorites, while Norm does things on the keyboard that will blow you away!
