Well, the Fifties
in February 2007 shows this year were fantastic. This year's
events were among the best in a long time. Check out some
of the great times below.

We
want to take just a moment to congratulate The Clear Lake
Chamber of Commerce for the outstanding job they did in organizing
and presenting this year's activities at the Surf. You folks
should be very proud!!

This line-up
on the Surf's marquis is only a partial list of the great
entertainers appearing at the Surf this year.

Jamie is one
of the nice people who work at the Heartland Inn in Clear
Lake where we stay each year.

Saturday afternoon,
all the performers gathered for fanfare where they signed
autographs.
|
Dale Hawkins
and Kendall of the Tutti Fruitties posed for pictures for
fans.
|

Here you can
see George posing with three of the guys from Jay and the
Americans. They tried to get away, but George was too fast
for them.
|
George and Ed
Perry, owner of WATD, are with two of the St. Paul Sweeties.
We haven't seen these gals for twelve years. What a great
surprise.

It was great
to spend some time with Jimmy Gilmer of the Fireballs.
|
Right about
now Barbara Lewis is thinking she should have probably stayed
home.
|
|

|
|
This is the famous
Rocky that you,ve heard about. He is with his friend Eva.
Would you buy records from this man? Absolutely!!!

Three members
of Jay and the Americans pose for pictures with Herbie Cox,
lead singer of the Cleftones.

Tommy Alsup was
with Buddy Holly in his last show at the Surf on February
2, 1959. Here Tommy visits the Surf gift shop.
|
George and Herbie
Cox of the Cleftones seem to be having a good time. How much
do you suppose George had to pay him to Smile?
|
|
|

|
After his performance,
Dale Hawkins sold CD;s and pictures and signed autographs.
Steve Sands and Kevin Boles of WATD joined Dale.
|
Each year on
the Sunday morning following the show, the "Yesterday's
Memories" gang are joined by a lot of the local Clear
Lake residents for breakfast. This year everyone met at a
new restaurant called "Picnic by the Lake".

superb effort in putting on "Fifties in February 2007".
We are really looking forward to 2008.
