YFS DINNER THEATRE TICKETS ON SALE NOW

Putnam, Bristow, Conner, and Pospisil

Youth & Family Services announced that Kenny Putnam along with special guests Boyd Bristow, Terry Pospisil and Mike Connor will provide the foot-tapping, energetic entertainment at the agency’s fifth annual Center Stage Dinner Theatre fundraiser Feb. 19-20 at the YFS facility at 120 E. Adams St. All proceeds from this event support YFS programs.

Kenny Putnam (fiddle), Boyd Bristow, (guitar and vocals) Terry Pospisil (bass and vocals) and Mike Connor (guitar and vocals) will present an evening of music from all over the musical map. Barn-burning fiddle tunes, originals, Irish folk, jazz, country and rock n' roll compose the list of tunes all done acoustically with the style and finesse that only comes with experience and instrumental mastery.

“After receiving a number of requests from last year’s guests, we are excited to present Kenny Putnam, Boyd Bristow and Terry Pospisil once again and look forward to the addition of Mike Connor to this year’s event. We are looking forward to another round of fantastic performances.” said Karissa Eifert, YFS Community Relations Coordinator.

Doors for this evening of fun and entertainment open at 5:30 p.m. each night for a social hour complete with heavy hors d'oeuvres, tours of the YFS facility and silent auction, followed by a buffet dinner donated and served by the Outback Steakhouse and the feature entertainment.

“This is a perfect way to share a delightful evening of fine food and entertainment with your family, friends, clients or employees,” Eifert said. “And, most importantly, the proceeds help ensure that our agency is able to provide critical services and programs for the more than 11,000 children and families we serve each year. When you purchase a ticket you've helped make a difference in the lives of children served by YFS.”

With only 180 tickets available each evening, seats fill up fast. Individual tickets cost $50, or $300 for a table of six. For tickets call Connie Olson at (605) 342-4195.
