WFVP Radio?

August 9th, 2011

The Fenton Village Players are a group of volunteers who love theatre and performing! Unfortunately, not all of our members have time to commit to a full production schedule, so we’ve been trying to come up with fun things for our members to do — and free things for the public to come and see!

Last year we held a Karaoke Night for all our frustrated singers. This past April we had a Poetry night for all the lovers of prose. And now we would like to revisit and reenact the Golden Age Of Radio by performing two classics of old-time radio; “Sorry, Wrong Number” and an episode of “The Shadow.”

We will be running the shows just as they were broadcast, with an announcer, a sound person on stage, commercials, costumes of the era and all!

FREE ADMISSION! One day only! Sunday, 2pm – August 28. First come, first seated!
The Fenton Village Playhouse, V. Sibyl Haddon Auditorium:

14197 Torrey Road

Fenton MI – 810-750-7700

Submitted by Sam Di Vita – Membership Chair, FVP

It’s all about the voice!

Dear Family & Friends,

My family & I have put a hold on asking for financial help for as long as we could. This is so difficult, especially now with the economy the way it is. We have opened the “Randa Jawhari Benefit Fund” at the State Bank. All proceeds will help my family to further help in the search of my sister Randa Jawhari, who as you know has been missing since Feb., 11th, 2009. You can mail a check or money order to:

The State Bank
Attn: Mail Teller
PO Box 725
Fenton, Mi. 48430-0725

(810) 714-3914
(810) 629-3892

You may also make a deposit at any State Bank locations.

Thank you for your continued support, my family and I appreciate all of you that have helped in Randa’s search, brought food, given us a shoulder to lean on and continue to pray for my family. May God’s blessings be upon you. May the peace of God rest upon you and your loved ones.

- Naheda Jawhari

Dinner is served at 6:00PM, but the “Hospitality Room” will be open from 12:00 NOON…there you can chat with old friends and review the memorabilia reflecting your years at Fenton High!

The cost of the dinner is $35 and if you act immediately your check will probably arrive in time. However, if you are concerned about the timing…just phone or email for your reservations.

810-458-4165 or email at cpmumv@charter.net

This year we are pleased to announce that many individuals, who are not former students of FHS, but have had a meaningful relationship with our school…children graduated, etc…have opted to join us at the dinner. This should only enhance your opportunity to say “hello” to old friends.

Uncle Ray’s Dairyland Featured on Channel 12!

May 29th, 2009

 

Uncle Ray's Dairyland

Uncle Ray's Dairyland

Uncle Ray’s Dairyland of Fenton is named one of the top 10 ice cream places in all of Michigan.  See the video clips of the featured segments on ABC local channel 12 where Dave Durant and Todd Durant whip up some interesting flavor combinations for Mark.

 

http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/video?id=6831643

http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?section=news/local&id=6831847

The coffee and doughnut ice cream was a hit!  The strawberry and chocolate covered bacon ice cream was an acquired taste.  And although a deluxe olive burger from Halo Burger is yummy delicious on it’s own, this was the least favorite of the unique flavor combinations explored by Channel 12 news.   The yummiest and most visually appealing, however, must have been the “fried egg on toast” breakfast treat.  See for yourself with the video links above.

Uncle Ray’s Dairlyand is slated to produce a 175 foot banana split at Fenton’s 175th birthday celebration later on this summer.
