2018 INTERNATIONAL FAN FEST
« on: March 25, 2018, 06:20:46 pm »
This will be our TENTH year holding the event & last year,
we used the heading FANS OF THE VENTURES on the front
of the keepsake 'commemorative program!'   Planning to do
the same this year.

The theme for the gathering come October is:   
NOKIE EDWARDS REMEMBERED.

Hopefully, many of you were able to catch 'the current lineup'
on tour in late January or more recently over a mid-March
weekend in Utah.   Now's the time to get behind 'the guys' &
help them continue the legacy of THE VENTURES.   During the
recent tour, a couple penned articles appeared locally.   'Great
reading' on both, chocked full of direct & sincere remarks from
Bob Spalding & Leon Taylor.   The best line went something like
this:   "We plan to stick as closely as possible to the DYNAMIC
SOUND co-founders Don Wilson & Bob Bogle 'perfected' early on,
then nurtured throughout five decades!   We're aware that even
some of 'the stalwart fans' have made remarks stating 'there are
no original members left' & that 'at this point, they're a tribute
band at best' but we don't see it that way- we want to continue
the legacy of THE VENTURES MUSIC!"     

Have been told by The Ventures booking manager- Ryan Greenblatt
that they'll try to 'tie-in' a fest appearance with another batch of East
Coast concert dates.  We can only keep our fingers crossed & hope it
becomes reality!   

In closing, please consider joining us for this rip-roaring (12) hour event
celebrating the 'infectious sounds' of THE VENTURES, offered up in tribute
by some of their biggest fans.   Cover charge for the day is $60 & includes
breakfast, lunch & dinner.   

Below is this year's version of the FEST ID CARD!
