If you want to rock and roll in February--You’d better shake it!

If you are planning to attend the Fifties in February event, it is recommended that you purchase your tickets and reserve your booth space soon.
Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce officials report ticket sales and booth reservations for the 2008 “Fifties in February” event are selling at a pace that is considerably better than last year’s event.
“We have received so many great comments about this year’s entertainment lineup. Many folks simply can’t believe that this many artists will be performing in one venue…and at one great event! One of the committee’s goals is to be host to the premier fifties event, and I think that we are definitely on the right track,” said Jeff Nicholas, committee co-chair.
The “Fifties in February” event is scheduled for Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2008. Artists who are scheduled to appear include Thursday evening performances by Sleepy LaBeef, Speedo & The Cadillacs and Jay & The Americans; Friday evening will feature live music (Sock Hop format) by Tommy Allsup & Johnny Rogers and Flash Cadillac; and Saturday evening features Big Bopper Jr., Dave Somerville of The Diamonds, The Chiffons, Sonny Burgess & The Pacers and The Belmonts. During the day, additional live entertainment in the Surfside Café is being planned, as are a memorabilia show, narrated bus tours, an autograph session, dance lessons and much more.
