If you have a question or wish to suggest something please get in touch with one of us. We strive to get 5 different types of  bands each month with a blend of ones who have been on before and new ones. We do need to remember these bands are giving of themselves for no pay and many travel from out of town to perform.If they have a CD you might think about buying one to help with their cost of travel. The admission  money is given to the Bethel school music programs to help keep music alive for our youth.

Intermission

For those of you that do not know the food and drinks are being done by different school groups to help earn money for their programs and this money goes to that group. Many of the youth and their parents do this to help earn extra to keep the cost down  for different school programs

Shan and Ron are in charge of the booking for the opry so if you wish to play or know of some one who is good please reach them through the web page or give them a call.
