Early-Bird Reception
Wednesday, June 2, 2010 - Time: 8:00pm
(Several came early and joined us for a fun-filled evening! There was lots of food and all had a chance to meet and visit with our honored guest stars and extra special guests on a more personal level. This year marked our 27^th Anniversary for our annual Roy Rogers Festival. The 2009 Roy Rogers Festival *Early-Bird Reception* proudly featured the many talents of festival regular, "Col. Bill Sanders". Col. Bill sang with much feeling and straight from the heart, as he performed each song. Roy and Dale's son-in-law, "Jon Patterson" (Dodie Rogers-Patterson's husband) blows us away each year as he keeps sounding bettr and better. We heard more from Jon as he performed several songs throughtout the four-day event, along with numerous entertainers nightly. He's a great entertainer, with excellent showmanship! Jon performs with his band, back home in Alabama.

Our special guest entertainer for 2010, was none other than Miss Belinda Gail, "America's Westerns Sweerheart". Everyone attending the Early-Bird Reception fell in love with Belinda. She has a way of caturing her audiences in the palm of her hand and the 2010 Roy Rogers Festival was no exception!

We enjoyed the wonderful entertainment while getting acquainted with other Roy and Dale fans, and rekindling those friendships we established in previous years at the annual Roy Rogers Festival.

It's never too early to saddle up your "Trigger" or "Buttermilk" and make plans for the *2011 Roy Rogers Festival*, August 3-6, 2011, Portsmouth, OH at the "future" Holiday Inn. You don't want to miss the *2011 Roy Rogers "Centennial Celebration" Festival Early-Bird Reception*!

The Sons of the Pioneers was a cowboy singing group founded in 1933 by Leonard Slye (better known by his later screen name Roy Rogers), with Tim Spencer and Bob Nolan. They were soon joined by others and became popular into the 1950s.

The six members who made the Sons of the Pioneers famous in the late 1930s with their close-harmonied western style music were elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980.
Their best known hits includes:
Tumbling Tumbleweed & Cool Water.

Tumbling Tumbleweed is considered their 'signature song'.

The group is still in existence today and perform in Branson, MO at the "Sheperd of the Hills" and special events.

(On August 9, 2008, Trail Boss of the "Sons of the Pioneers" for nearly 31 years, Dale Henry Warren went to his final roundup at the age of 83. He took on the reigns as "trail boss" after Lloyd Perryman passed away in 1977. Dale was a member of the western singing group for over 55 years. The western music community and fans all around the world are deeply saddened by this loss.)

Roy Rogers Cocktail

A Roy Rogers is a non-alcoholic cocktail made with cola (such as Coca Cola) and grenadine syrup, garnished with a maraschino cherry and sometimes an orange wedge. In recent years, both this name and the original "Roy Rogers" have given way to the term "grenadini." It is considered an acceptable cocktail drink for children (since there is no alcohol). For this reason, it may also be called a kiddie cocktail or simply a homemade Cherry Coke.

It was named for the cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers.
