Dedicated People in Great Bend

A perfect example of a group that returns year after year is the Shelby Owners.  They return to Great Bend each year on the third weekend in July.  Brock McPherson issues an invitation to this group every year because, even though the convention requires hours of work, he knows how much it benefits his community.

The Shelby's initially chose Great Bend because of Ellinwood's After Harvest Festival.  It gave them a chance to participate in a parade and enjoy the festival activities during their convention.  They return every year because Brock does such a great job organizing the event, the community is friendly, and they have a good time while they are here!

RE: FORD PERFORMANCE SHOW

We were present for the Car Show, Autocross, and Drag Races at the Great Bend Shelby Show.  Our family attends this show regularly.  Our two oldest sons, Jesse (22) and Casey (19) each drive a Mustang down there along with myself driving one too.  This year our other son Riley (9) plus out two daughters, Bailey (14) and Wendy (11) attended also.  Ed and Debi Rempe, Rich and Nancy McCoy, Larry Gilchrist, Mike Norton, and Max Bearley Jr. also attended the car show.  Congratulations to out to Larry receiving a 1st place, Rich and Nancy tie for 1st place, and runners-up place going out to Mike, Max, and Ed and Debi.  Our family attended the Autocross and Drag Races.  Our boys are into burning rubber and drifting the cars around corners.  Oh well, I like doing it also.  Casey and I received runners-up in the early model class autocross and Jesse went on to a 3rd place finish plus $100 cash in the drag races.  The best thing was we made it home in one piece without breaking anything!!  One other note, my younger son and two daughters all got to ride with us in the drag races and autocross.  My oldest daughter, Bailey, who just turned 14, drove in the autocross fun runs.  That made her day and she is ready for more!!!

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU’RE OLD AND DON’T MOVE FAST ANYMORE

             George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’s left the light no in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.

             George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.  He phoned the police, who asked, “Is someone in your house?” and he said “no”.  Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.

             George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phone the police again.  “Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed.  Well, you don’t have to worry about them now cause I’ve just shot them all.”  Then he hung up. 

            Within 5 minutes, 3 police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence and caught the burglars red-handed.

             One of the Policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”  George said,

 “I thought you said there was nobody available!”


Subject: Beer Power

 

You have to read it all the way to the punch line!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The power of Beer

A man is waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor comes in and informs the dad that his son was born without torso, arms or legs. The son is just a head! But the dad loves his son and raises him as well as he can, with love and compassion.

After 21 years, the son is now old enough for his first drink. Dad takes him to the bar, tearfully tells the son he is proud of him and orders up the biggest, strongest drink for his boy. With all the bar patrons looking on curiously and the bartender shaking his head in disbelief, the boy takes his first sip of alcohol.

Swoooosh! Plop!! A torso pops out! The bar is dead silent; then bursts into whoops of joy. The father, shocked, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant "Take another drink!" 

The bartender continues to shake his head in dismay. Swoooosh! Plip! Plop!! Two arms pop out.

The bar goes wild. The father, crying and wailing, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant, "Take another drink! Take another drink!!" The bartender ignores the whole affair and goes back to polishing glasses, shaking his head, clearly unimpressed by the amazing scenes.

By now the boy is getting tipsy, but with his new hands he reaches down, grabs his drink and guzzles the last of it. Plop! Plip!! Two legs pop out. The bar is in chaos.

The father falls to his knees and tearfully thanks God. The boy stands up on his new legs and stumbles to the left then staggers to the right through the front door, into the street, where a truck runs over him and kills him instantly The bar falls silent.

The father moans in grief. The bartender sighs and says,

 (Wait for it)

 * 

 * 

(It's coming)

 

(Ya ready?)

 

 

 (Don't hate me)

 

 (Ya gonna hate me)

 

 

 (Take a deep breath)


 

 "He should've quit while he was a head!"
