Goodtimer's Activities & Schedule

Nursing Homes
    The first three Mondays of every month, during the fall, winter and early spring months, a group of the Goodtimers travel to area nursing homes providing entertainment for the residents. As with our Friday night program, we have no idea who or how many musicians will show up. We always manage to provide one hour of entertainment. Sometimes there are just a few of us, but most times there are about a dozen of us and we fill up the hour! Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have one of the residents join us and share with us their favorite tune.
 

Special Events
    The Goodtimers are more than happy to play for special events, such as Fairs, Ice Cream Socials, Senior Citizen's Dinners, or special Church events.

    We will try to accommodate your musical entertainment needs, however, we can't always make it to every one of them due to our busy schedules. If you are interested in having the Goodtimers perform for your group or activity, send us an Email with your request, visit one of our shows and see us about your request, or phone 1-816-424-6445 any Friday night.
 

Annual Chicken Dinner
    Y'all come and get it!! Once a year the Gower Goodtimers put on a fried chicken feed bag that would make Kentucky Fried Chicken envious. Once again our people donate their kitchen skills and labor to host a freewill chicken dinner. This is a major fund drive for the Goodtimers raising the needed funds to provide for the building operating costs and even helping those in need at times. As with all the Goodtimer functions, there is no charge for the meal or entertainment. This is also one of the few, if only, times that a freewill donation is collected for the evening. Yearly generates about $1,500 after expenses.

    This annual Spring event is held on a Saturday early evening in April or May, following one of our Friday night shows. The entire evening is devoted completely to Gospel Music.

    We usually manage to serve about 400 people each year! That translates to chokin' about 100 chickens. With that in mind, coming early will only guarantee having some food and fun. So far, we have never ran out of food, or fun!

    For more information, send us an Email, visit one of our shows , or phone 1-816-424-6445 any Friday night.

Annual Campout

    Grab your sleeping bag and instrument and head for the stars! The Milky Way stars that is.

    The Goodtimers started a new event, or function for the group, in 1997. That was our very first campout. It was met with such overwhelming success that it was requested to be an annual event, even before we broke camp the first year! The campout takes place the first weekend in June at Wallace State Park, just a few miles south of Cameron Missouri, off I-35. We usually fill the campground to the maximum so plan early to attend.

    As always, the Goodtimers furnished the continental Breakfast Saturday morning and then the meat, beverage and tableware for the potluck style meal on Saturday afternoon. Everyone else brings a covered dish or dessert of some sort.

    There is non-stop jammin' going on all day somewhere in the camp. You can always find some music somewhere. On Sunday we meet at 10:00 AM for a time of worship together. Afterwards we have another potluck style meal and break camp to go home. This is such a rewarding time to sit and visit with fellow musicians and "fans". It bonds even tighter the family atmosphere of the Goodtimers.
