The Historic Main Street Promotion Team is looking for Acts to participate in the 4th Annual Gong Show. Save the date;Wednesday, July 16, from 7-9 pm during Alliance’s Heritage Days at the Newberry building, 402 Box Butte Avenue.
The concept behind the Gong Show is to raise awareness of the quality work being done, and also the needs of Alliance’s service organizations. This is a great way to raise funds for these organizations, be entertained and have loads of fun doing it. The Gong Show is patterned after the 1970 TV show. If you haven’t seen it, you can go toYouTube to check it out. It’s a blast!
So for those of you associated with non-profit organizations it’s time to get your “Act Together” and get registered for the Gong Show. (If you are not associated with a “non-profit” organization and have an Act you would like to perform, ask an organization to sponsor you.) With just 2 months until Heritage Days, NOW is the time to start thinking about what Act you will want to perform. If you have a great idea but don’t want to go it alone, get your friends together and challenge them to participate. You just might be that special Act to win $516 big ones and 32 little ones! Representing your organization is ideal for; 4-H, cheerleaders, sports team, YMCA, United Way or anyone wanting to bring attention or awareness to a cause. The most important thing to remember is the Gong Show is about FUN, not talent – entries are judged on A-effort, B-entertainment value, and C-originality. Anyone can do this!
These are the facts of the matter:
1) Funds raised are for non-profit originations (not personal gain). You will need to provide a non-profit tax ID number to enter.
2) Cost nothing to enter – your group gets some recognition – if they do not win, they get $51.63, and one winner gets 516 big ones and 32 little ones!
3) This is a lip-sync contest. If you don’t lip-sync expect to get gonged!
4) There will be a limit of 10 entries, so call now!
5) This is a family show, however it is held in the Newberry which is a beer garden.
6) To register contact Historic Main Street, 305 Box Butte Avenue, call 308-762-1800 or email –[email protected] for details. (You will need to fill out an application form to be registered for this event).
7) The crowd is encouraged to dress in 70’s garb and wear your cool (goofy) hats.
8) We will once again have “M. C. Chuck Barris” the unknown comic and Gene Gene the Dancin’ Machine…
9) Don’t be a square be there…
