CSWM 2010 Swing Fest
Cowtown Society of Western Music will host our 12th Annual Swing Fest on Saturday May 1, 2010 at Holiday Hills Country Club in Mineral Wells, Texas. Chuck Curtis and his All Star Band will kick off the festival at about 1:00 PM with some lively western swing music. Oh yes, dancing is encouraged. Award presentations to Heroes of Western Music (there will be 24 this year) will be presented throughout the afternoon. Our second band will be Larry Lange and the Lonestar Troubadours from Wichita Falls, Texas. Following them will be Bill Gilbert and The Heroes Band and we'll end the evening with Brady Bowen and Swing Country starting about 7:00 PM and going until 10:00 PM. Also during the event we will be conducting silent and live auctions, selling tee shirts, caps, and programs; all to raise money for this event and upcoming events for 2010. A lunch buffet will be available starting at 11:00 A.M. and a dinner buffet starts at 5:30 P.M. for a nominal charge. A cash bar is open for all types of beverages including beer, wine and liquor.

Tickets will be $10.00 at the door or $8.00 in advance. Contact Joyce Miller at 817-558-7580 or joyce@accentwholesale.com to purchase advance tickets.

DON'T FORGET THE JAM SESSION! We are getting together on Friday night, April 30th about 7:00 PM at Charlie and Linda O'Bannon's barn at 10708 Highway 180 in Cool, Texas (between Weatherford and Mineral Wells, Texas). Look for the big white sign on the highway that says Piano Lessons with a red arrow pointing the way. We'll also have balloons marking the entrance. There will be live music, dancing, food and beverages as a prelude to Swing Fest the next day.
