Waverly Community Celebration
The Waverly Community Picnic Committee would like to sends a BIG thank you to Marvina for a wonderful performance she delivered August 17th and 18th in Waverly, IL, with her tributes to Doris Day and Patsy Cline at our annual community celebration. On August 17th she performed a tribute to Doris Day at our Senior Center and it was truly a walk down memory lane. On August 18th, we had the honor of having Marvina escorted in our Parade riding in a vintage 1964 Ford convertible prior to her Patsy Cline performance which was a crowd pleaser. Marvina is truly a gifted vocalist and performer. I'm proud to say that I personally recommend her to any venue big or small. Thanks again Marvina for making our celebration one to remember.

I would like to say to the Waverly Community Picnic Committee and their President, Jeff Grimmett, how much Ray and I enjoyed performing at your annual celebration. Everyone was so helpful in getting our equipment set up and torn down for the Friday Doris Day Show and the seniors were an absolutely delightful audience. Your gracious hospitality in providing lunch and accomodations for Friday night were grately appreciated. Also a big thank you to Charlie for letting me ride in his vintage 1964 red Ford convertible in the Parade before the Patsy Cline Show and waving to all the townspeople. The people of Waverly, IL will always have a special place in my heart.
