Arden Legion Annual Deer Hunters Ball

Malcolm Sampson | Oct 24, 2013

The Arden Legion Annual Deer Hunters Ball will be held this year on November 16. For 2013 it has been decided to follow a new format: Entertainment will be supplied by two groups of artists; one will play from 6-8 p.m. and the second from 9 p.m. on. From 3:30-7:30 p.m. the Legion will offer “All you can eat" chicken wings for 50¢ each and fries for only $1. Accompanying the food special from 6 to 8 p.m. will be a group of musicians from the Denbigh area called “Pickled Chicken". This group supplies a unique blend of Country, Blue Grass, Rock & Roll, Blues and Folk music plus some original presentations.

Pickled Chicken has been playing together for 2-3 years and two members of the band, Mark Rowe and Joe Grant, have been playing for more years than they care to remember. This unique band, consisting of all retirees, stress fun and relaxation in the presentation of their music, playing any requests they are familiar with. They also encourage toe-tapping, clapping, singing along and any form of dancing that fits the songs.

At 9 p.m. the stage will be taken over by Tribute Artists Steve and Suzanne Roberts, who play as Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. They will present three shows over the balance of the evening performing the hits we all remember so well of the late Johnny and June.

Steve and Suzanne have performed in Tribute shows all over Canada over the past 6-7 years. They also take requests with Suzanne handling most songs by Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Shania Twain.

Entry to this fun-filled night of good food, entertainment, great music and the chance to win cash prizes is included in the $10 Deer Hunter Ball tickets. Ball tickets are now on sale at the Legion. The draws for all prizes will be held at approximately 10:15 p.m. and winners of awards announced at the same time. Cut-off of tickets for the Deer Contest will be 6 p.m. November 3 and tickets sold after that will be eligible for entry into the draw for the $500 and $200 cash prizes only. So, please make a point to come to the Legion for some good food and a lively time.
