Delta Dawn, Variety Style

I volunteer ushered at the Badgett Playhouse (http://www.grandriversvariety.com/) last night. I simply had a super wonderful extremely fantastical time. Last night's show was Variety, Music, Memories & More. Just as the show's name describes, many different music styles were performed. My favorite was the fast paced, high energy glitterized Motown segment closely followed by the sparkly Disco montage, however, the well rehearsed stage performers paled in comparison to what I was hearing from the back row.

No, no it's not what you think. Yes, the theatre was dimly lit and yes, I did mention the back row but, from the back row I was gleefully serenaded by the children of one of the band member's. The two little boys, ages 5 and 7, knew practically every word to practically every song! My favorite miniature masterpiece was the older of the two brothers singing right along, word for word, with the very beautiful & extremely talented Sara Minihan as she belted out Tanya Tucker's "Delta Dawn". Simply priceless!

Children are beautiful and life is good!

Gunner's Favorite Movie Night...Success!!!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Wow! What a magical night we had at the Badgett Playhouse enjoying The Polar Express on Gunner's Favorite Movie Night. The response was quite simply overwhelming. We truly live in a community of loving and supportive friends.

A special "Thanks" to Bill and Sara Minihan for their generous donation of the use of the theatre and the concession proceeds! You guys are beyond awesome!

Gunner Gillespie, Grand Rivers, & Variety

We live in a really small town. The population is around 350. This place is crazy busy in the summer, bursting at the seams with as many sightseeking tourists as can possible fit. As I drove through town today, I noticed what the buzz is about here. This is where we live. We are so, so blessed by the beauty and recreation surrounding us daily. Just look at this view!

Not only is the landscape beautiful & blog worthy, so are the people. Bill & Sara Minihan are the operators of the Badgett Playhouse. They have not only donated use of the theatre for Gunner's Favorite Movie Night, Bill & Sara are also donating all of the proceeds from the concessions sold during the feature. HOW GENEROUS!

Please show your support and appreciation to the Minihans by attending a paid performance at the Badgett Playhouse. The shows are outstanding and well worth the ticket price.

Grand Rivers is beautiful and God is good!
