RANGER REPORT - CHRISTMAS 2010
Hippy Holidaze!
This is going to be an extra-long end-of-the-year special Ranger Report
so just kick back with a mug of eggnog and a yule-time log...
This Thursday, Dec. 23rd is the Mighty Manatees Christmas Party at The
Dutch Cottage in Skippack, PA. Bring your season's greetings.
Showtime is 9:30PM.
Friday, Dec. 31st is our New Year's Eve Bash at The Rising Sun in
Telford, PA. There is NO cover charge! Special guests! Showtime is
9:00PM. Reservations are available for dinner. Check our schedule
for directions and Rising Sun website.
It's time to refresh your browsers because construction is finished on
our www.themightymanatees.com a.k.a. www.losmanatees.com website.
We added a press clippings page which has over 40 articles about the band.
We've also added a poster page which showcases over 50 of our most
eye-catching posters. These posters are the work of many of our artist
friends including Jeff Asher and Tom Musselman. (You'll notice that
our schedule page has changed as well and now provides Google
directions to all of our shows).
We welcome new web-master Ken Bernardo (a.k.a. Bernardo DaVinci) to the
team. (www.designsbyken.com)
