And you won't want to miss having reserved seating for the entertainment events.
If you call and can't get through, (even to leave a message!), don't worry! Pam Townley will get back to you through your caller ID number.
My good friend Jody Nix and his Texas Cowboys will be on stage at 1:30. After dinner, me and the boys and special guests Floyd Domino and Dave Alexander will hit the stage - all hosted by the grand gentleman of Western Swing Radio, Larry Scott.
If you were at last year's amazing event, you will remember the surprise guests and spontaneous way the evening went. We expect no less this year.
It was magic!
Make your plans to join us and celebrate the life and music of that man who inspired my interest in Western Swing Music.
Tommy Duncan!

Last year was Tommy Duncan's (posthumous) 100th Birthday. A grand celebration was held inTommy's home town, Whitney, Texas.
Billy Mata & the Texas Tradition were joined by Tommy's brother, Glynn Duncan and a host of musicians and dignitaries to honor the occasion with a concert like no other.
Anyone who attended will tell you the experience was magic. We're doing it again in 2012 - this time in nearby Hillsboro, Texas, just a few miles down the road from Whitney. A larger venue, even more music and mayhem and a catered dinner, all led by
Master of Ceremonies, Larry Scott.
Two Big Shows! Here's the line up:
1:30 - 4:30 JODY NIX and the TEXAS COWBOYS
4:30 - 6:30 CATERED DINNER
7:00 - 10:00 BILLY MATA & the TEXAS TRADITION
with FLOYD DOMINO and DAVE ALEXANDER
