Next Saturday's Hometown Celebration in Cordell is going to be fabulous! It will be indoors at the Activity Center, so no worries about rain. There will be THREE giant rooms of fun! Vendors, amazing entertainment, and a kids' jump space are some of the activities! There will be a car show, BINGO!!, and a Co****le tournament! As if that wasn't enough, now there will also be a parade around the Activity Center! Our Cordell Chamber of Commerce and Sarah Lau have put together THE event of the summer. Cordell Arts & Humanities Council is providing the entertainment with professionally produced sound, featuring one of my favorite bands, The Bisketheadz! You may have seen them perform at Altus Rock n Rumble or at events in Medicine Park. Also performing will be the jazz ensemble Those Cats from Out West and the amazing Talk of the Town orchestra, which plays music from all eras and genres in a unique big band style. I can't wait for June 28th!
PLEASE SHARE, AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
