6 Massena, N. Y. Observer Thursday, May 11, 1967 Minstrels At Brasher The horsing around is over, the rehearsals, planning and the rest of the work. Now the time has come for the fun of St. Patrick's Minstrel Show to be held Friday and Saturday evening. Thirty songs will be sung, jokes aplenty, dancing and a lot of plain torn-foolery is all packed in a fast moving two hour show. Directors LaFave and Eagles feel that this is one of the vefy best presented yet. Talent is un- believable; so many good enter- tainers in one show that it is impossible to pick an outstand- ing act, the directors state. \^ Six yeteran endmen plus one verypromising rookie gives the Minstrels the professional touch which is so hard to come by in such a short time. The chorus is extra good this , year; their songs and back- ground for the vocalists _ are simply great. Directors LaFave and Eagles remarked, \Come and listen to the music. It will be an eve-them ning you won't forget.. You'll howl with laughter at the end- smell's- jokes_and.dancjng.. There are a few surprises tossed in for good measure. \Come to Brasher Falls Fri- day and Saturday night or come . both nights.
