You know who I’m talking about… We’ve sadly lost so many talented artists who have touched us and formed the soundtracks to our lives, but their music will last forever.
Join Celebrations Dinner Theatre for our walk through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame… in heaven.

Spring is just around the corner!!! But if you are like me, I'm still happy to
curl up in a sunny corner with a book for an afternoon read, or just to dream
of stretching out on the sand with a good beach book.
Either way, we have lots for you to choose from, so come on down and check
out some of the new titles, or if you're looking for something we don't have,
we can order it in for you.
See you soon.
Randy and Vicki
