But don't worry, if you want to see a full show from the Volunteers, they are returning on August 14th, so be sure to come out for their FULL show on that night. Unfortunately, since the rain was on its way, there was no way for our second group, The Funsters, to perform that night, but it was safer for all parties involved. Don't forget, the weekend isn't over! We still have Jesse Garron performing on Saturday night with his nationally recognized Elvis show including a full, live band!
