"To know the world you need to see as many sides of it as possible. And this sometimes means using microscopes, telescopes, spectroscopes, even kaleidoscopes..."

THE RANGER REPORT - August 2022 The Official Newsletter of The Mighty Manatees aka Floaty Potatoes
"Celebrating 36 Years of Going To Play And Not Coming Back"
THE MIGHTY FANATEES! - We would like to thank all the family, friends, and fans that came out to our free concert in Charlestown Park last week. It was a magical evening for hundreds of people. The next day, Makinlee Fox, the organizer of the event, was amazed to report back to the park supervisors that the park was now cleaner AFTER our show than before! This is because our folks cleaned up after themselves. We are very proud of our fanatees.
SINGING IN THE PARK! - And speaking of parks, this Thursday, August 4, our electric 5-piece will give a free, outdoor, all-ages concert at Cuddy Park, 101 Colonial Drive, Perkiomenville, PA. Special musical guest: Brett Andrew! Beautiful Cuddy Park has many walking trails, a natural meadow, two play areas for dogs, and most importantly the Downingtown Scoop ice cream truck!
Showtime is 7:00to 9:00 PM. http://www.lowerfrederick.org
VIDEO CLIP OF THE MONTH - This month's clip was filmed at the now-defunct Crazy Carl's in Schwenksville, PA, back in 2007. It features the Rhino Horns and Tim "Yellow Drum" Campbell on drums. Thanks to Uncle Ronkle for the audio and video.
