Fall Gospel Jubilee heads to Krodel
by Beth Sergent
bsergent@heartlandpublications.com

POINT PLEASANT — This year, the Fifth Annual Fall Gospel Jubilee will take place for the first time at Krodel Park with three days of gospel music planned over the Labor Day Weekend.

The free event begins at 2 p.m. with performances throughout the day and evening starting Sept. 1-3. Singing will take place under the large gazebo beside the lake. Those who plan on attending are asked to bring a lawn chair for seating under the large tent.

Those who do attend will be treated to singing by 30 different groups, including the following nationally known artists the Rochesters on Sept. 1, J.B. and Barbara Spencer on Sept. 2 and Mike Upright on Sept. 3. There will be a whole host of other performers in between.

In addition, Roger Duncan from Seffner, Fla., will be the guest preacher on Sept. 1 and 2. Duncan is the son of the late Buren and Bonnie Duncan and spent his early years in Mason County. According to organizers, Duncan has made many friends here over the years and several still attend the annual revival at his home church in Seffner, Fla.

According to one of the event’s organizers Evelyn Roush, the Fall Gospel Jubilee started because of requests to promote an autumn sing. The sound system will be provided by Adam Roush and David Bowen. Concessions will also be sold by volunteers to support the jubilee - these concessions will be served in the air conditioned club house and outside at picnic tables if weather permits.

Additional performers include: Ron Shamblin of Sissonville, Covered By Love of South Webster, Ohio, Roush Ramily of New Haven, Truly Saved of Longbottom, Ohio, Forever Blessed of Gallipolis Ferry, Vickie Moore of Vinton, Ohio, West Virginia Couriers of Elkview, Day Spring of The Plains, Ohio, Williams Family of Frenchburg, Ky., Edith Ellis Lykens, Salyersville, Ky., Violet Maynard of Columbus, Ohio, David Bowen Family of Spencer, Taylor Brothers of Charleston, Narrow Way of Point Pleasant, New Southern Harmony of Gallipolis, The Kidds of Cross Lands, Brian and Family Connection of Longbottom, Ohio, New Jerusalem Bluegrass of Columbus, Ohio, Jacobs Ladder of Fairdale, Rolins Family of Leon, Dave Seratt, John and Shirley Cramer of Algar, Ohio, Paul and Mary Nichols of Elkview, Arling Barnes and Friends of Red House, Lloyd (Cowboy) Hunt of Cottageville.

Again, admission is free but love offerings will be taken daily. Camping is available by calling 304-675-1068 or 304-730-5750.

MIDDLEPORT — A “Cafe Murder” a comedy/mystery where the audience gets to solve the crime, will be presented by the River City Players at 7 p.m. on Saturday in the Middleport Village Hall auditorium.

The RCP have assembled a comedic cast of veteran performers who Roger Gilmore describes as “having difficulty making it through the rehearsals because they are laughing to hard.”

“Café Murder” is a hilarious murder mystery-comedy for which the River City Players (RCP) Community Theater has assembled a killer (pun-intended) comedic cast. The cast list includes: Celia McCoy as an overbearing, hypochondriacal birthday girl, eldest of five sisters; Dixie Sayre her sister, an aging hippie, paranoid and quite inappropriate; Linda Warner, another sister who is a very proper conservative bank executive, intelligent, and sexually repressed; Jessica Holliday, another sister, self-absorbed, airhead “Valley Girl”; Janis Carnahan, the sister who is a long-haul trucker – rude, crude, and thinks she’s a dude; Gary Walker, a scattered, self-taught detective with a limited vocabulary; Mike Kennedy, an incompetent waiter; Tony Carnahan, a French chef for whom a great deal is lost in translation; and Roger Gilmore, a snooty maitre’d and owner of the restaurant. This talented group of RCP veterans promises to provide a real laugh riot, and you don’t want to miss the fun.

While this will not be a dinner theater presentation, appetizers and desserts will be served prior to and during the performance. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 with advance seating available through the Fabric Shop in Pomeroy or at the door. For more information, visit www.rivercityplayers.org, Facebook River City Players – Middleport, email rcp.showinfo@gmail.com or phone (740) 444-1595.

Mother Nature rains out Tri-County junior golfers

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young men and women playing in the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League are a hardy bunch. However, Mother Nature showed who the boss really was Thursday morning at the scheduled tournament to be played at the Cliffside Golf Course.

Actually, in spite of the heavy rains that fell early Thursday morning, the golf course was very playable and the young ones teed off at approximately 9:30 a.m.. About an hour later, the rains returned washing out the days play.

Thursday’s tournament has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 26, at the Cliffside Golf Course. All players who paid the entry fee for Thursday’s outing will not be charged to play on the 26th. Lunch, because it was available after the rain stopped play Thursday, will not be served on the 26th.

All other scheduled Tri-County Junior Golf Tournaments will be played as scheduled. Next week’s play will be at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with play starting at 8:50 a.m.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young men and women playing in the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League are a hardy bunch. However, Mother Nature showed who the boss really was Thursday morning at the scheduled tournament to be played at the Cliffside Golf Course.

Actually, in spite of the heavy rains that fell early Thursday morning, the golf course was very playable and the young ones teed off at approximately 9:30 a.m.. About an hour later, the rains returned washing out the days play.

Thursday’s tournament has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 26, at the Cliffside Golf Course. All players who paid the entry fee for Thursday’s outing will not be charged to play on the 26th. Lunch, because it was available after the rain stopped play Thursday, will not be served on the 26th.

All other scheduled Tri-County Junior Golf Tournaments will be played as scheduled. Next week’s play will be at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with play starting at 8:50 a.m.
