This year there is well over $700 in door prizes donated by area businesses, and of course there's the sought after prizes for the oldest lady and gent, and youngest boy and girl performers. The hospitality and generosity is very humbling for.... me," says Hanson. On Saturday night, the organizers are planning an old-fashioned hootenanny and plans are in the works for the performers to tour the village giving a wee bit of a demonstration of what to expect on Sunday.
