Tickets go on sale May 1st
for the “Event of the Summer”,
BARNDANCE 2011!!

The best seven hours of summer are from 5pm. til Midnight July 16, 2011. Due to the great response last year, 4 for 3 is back if purchased by Sunday, July 10th. Tickets are available at all American Community Bank locations, or online at www.gavers.org.

Entering it’s 12th year, BARNDANCE is the best FUNdraiser of the year. The Gavers Community Cancer Foundation is continually impressed with the support of our volunteers, sponsors and guests. In 2009, there were over 2,300 attendees at BARNDANCE, and we hope to surpass that this year.

BARNDANCE has always been about raising awareness, and encouraging people to be checked for cancer. In that vein, last year we instituted a “4 for 3” pricing plan to encourage people to attend. Due to the great success, “4 for 3” is back.

This year’s BARNDANCE is shaping up to be the best ever!! For the uninitiated, here’s what to expect; for you veterans, enjoy!

The gates open at 5:00, and a BBQ dinner is served from 5:30 to 7:00. During that time, “Jenae Cherry” will be entertaining us. Be sure to check out the “Mystery Box” raffle items, and get your boxes, and commemorative pins.

• From 7:00 to 8:30, we present our “Never be Defeated” award winners, and have our live auction. This is the heart of the program, and the auctions get pretty lively, so you won’t want to miss it.

• 1st band starting at 5:30 is Jenae Cherry, born and raised in Wonder Lake she made her move to Nashville, TN in August of 2009 at the age of 19 to pursue her dream.

• 2nd band starting around 9:00 is Rock Candy, featuring Molly - back by popular demand, they played at Barndance 2008! Find your place on the dance floor early, it's gonna get crowded!

• Last, but not least, "Hans and the Hormones have the honor of closing BARNDANCE. These guys have been here every year, are local favorites, and we plan to keep having them back until they say no.

• About 12:00, we’ll shut it down, and as you head to your cars, you’ll already be wondering what the date for 2012 is, and how you can volunteer. That’s what happens at BARNDANCE, once you have experienced it, you’re hooked!
