Friday Night Festivities

For this Friday night the Core Group Team has planned a trip to The Country Store in the charming little town of Floyd, VA to experience the toe tappin' fun of the Friday Night Jamboree. The Jamboree attracts some of the best Gospel and Bluegrass bands in the world -- seriously. Every week it includes over 4 hours of Gospel and Bluegrass music and flatfoot dancing (your participation optional) all for only $5. Some of you went last spring and really enjoyed it. Sarah suggested we go again. Ross just went with his family a few weeks ago to celebrate his birthday and endorses it. With a celebrity endorsement like that, how can you go wrong? Danny has been so full of anticipation for the Jamboree he pressed his cowboy boots into service last Sunday just to get ready. They're all shined up and ready to go.

If you're as ready to join us on this adventure as Danny's boots, meet at the campus house at 5pm this Friday. We will carpool for the 45 minute drive to Floyd, VA and get to the Country Store early so we can get some great seats and enjoy some delicious food before the concert. They have all kinds of sandwiches, hot dogs, and BBQ sandwiches to eat, and a large selection of ice cream, milk shakes, homemade pies, cakes, and other desserts, and old fashioned candy to buy.

So that's 5:00pm Friday at the campus house. And bring $5 for admission. Bringing a friend would be good, too.

If you need directions to the campus house, just look on the right side of your screen.

I really hope you can join us. It'll be an experience you won't soon forget.

Super Bowl Party

Hey everybody,
I hope you can join us for our Super Bowl Party this coming Sunday. We are going to watch the game (and, of course, the always much talked about Super Bowl commercials) on our big screen at the campus house. Kickoff is at 6:30pm so be sure to get here a little while before then.

We will have some delicious Super Bowl food to enjoy during the game, too. Stacey is bringing her famous Chicken Buffalo Dip, Danny is contributing some Mexican Dip, Ross has the drinks covered, Linda is providing the chips and dip without which no Super Bowl party would be complete, and Kenny is signed up to bring "a little sump'n sump'n" -- whatever that means.

If you would like to bring something to contribute too, feel free. We would be happy to help you eat it. But don't feel like you have to bring anything to come.

Also, please invite your friends. This is not just for CCVT regulars. Everyone is welcome.

Whether you are coming to watch the game, or the commercials, or just for the food and friends, we look forward to seeing you.

See you about 6:15pm Sunday at the campus house. If you need directions, just look on the right side of the screen.

Thanks.
Steve
