COLDSPRING — In front of a sold-out crowd, Emcee Jerry Jones kicked off an evening of entertainment at the San Jacinto County Senior Citizens Center.
The Saturday event was a fundraiser for the San Jacinto County Senior Citizens Center, and was sponsored by Sheriff Greg Capers.
The place was packed and waiting for a show that turned out to be a huge success — 10 acts performed starting with “Fashions of Tomorrow,” narrated by Sue Jackson and modeled by Judy Chatham, Pam Schultee, Manette Farber, Linda Almaguer, Paula Williams and Diane Samoff.
Several skits followed throughout the night; Greg Cones sang a rendition of Josh Turner’s “Your Man,” an awesome song, followed by a skit by Jim Moore and Joe Campbell called “Computer Store,” a hilarious take on a new businessman trying to communicate to a new technology company for installing a Windows-based operating system.
Sandra Shoultz, a special guest for the night, sang a tremendous version of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” but a skit that brought the house down was none other than a repeat performance of Patsy Cline’s “She’s Got You” by center Director Charline Smith, where the girl gets her man, and she is left with “These Little Things.”
Other acts of the night were “$65 Funeral” with Charline Smith and Marry Campbell; “Ajax Airlines” with Diane Clevenger and Roger Short; “The Retiree” with Joe Campbell, Judy Chatham, Jim Moore, Gayle Currie, Dawn Fink, Dennis Fraga, Marcy Campbell and Tom Fink; and “Baby Photographer” with Kristie Fraga and Joe Campbell.
The song selections included “The Chain of Love” by Ken Janik and “Amazing Grace” by the Church Ladies — Cathy Wagner, Kathleen Thrower, Linda Aubuchon, Marcy Campbell and Sharon Alterman.
After several years of not having a show, the Senior Citizens Center had funding cut from its budget, so “The Show Must Go On” seemed to be the theme of the evening. The show sold out within a few days, and residents got their money’s worth
