"Did you have a hand in this? I will ask you one more time, did you have a hand in this?

If you've seen Ocean's Eleven you'll get the reference. If you haven't, we're pretty sure this doesn't need the analogy. it's just a good one. 

Some schools, who have not been named, voted to keep Tawas Schools out of the North Star League. What kind of nonsense is that? Seriously, the Iosco News has the story here that FOUR schools voted not to include Tawas. OK, let's get the schools lined up (Charlton Heston Academy -- no really it's a thing. They were just admitted). 

Alcona 

Atlanta

Au Gres

Charlton Heston 

Hale

Hillman

Mio 
Oscoda 

Posen

Rogers City 

Whittemore-Prescott 

Since 2016-17 Tawas schools have been independent. The article mentions some schools in the North Star League, listed above, may still have some brain-addled complaint Tawas decided not to join the NSL in 2014. Sure, it's a perfect fit size-wise and geographically but let's get petty. 

So again, "Did you have a hand in this?" Step up and admit why you think Tawas shouldn't be in the North Star League and double-shame if Oscoda was one of the schools.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ARETHA FRANKLIN!

You think Johnny has something to add to other-worldy? No he does not. Aretha and 'I Say A Little Prayer' getting things going tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE DRIFTERS!

The simplicity and brilliance of The Drifters on full display here. Just effortless in making a timeless classic. Strings were used to great effect for so long but seemingly not anymore. They could use a comeback.

'Save the Last Dance for Me' offering you a great chance to give those vocal cords a run out.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT!

Sure, a little trippy but you can do trippy on your way out the door, nee Music Series. Besides, trippy or no, The Alan Parsons Project always is a welcome addition to any Friday music party.

'Breakdown' taking us out tonight.

All the gruel you can eat...

The tradition continues...

Damn the Covid, Rockfest is back!

After a year away due to the Covid19 pandemic, Oscoda's Rockfest will make its triumphant return after the original Rockfest in August of 2019. Furtaw Field will of course host the event, August 14 this year and if you'll take a look at this handy promotional poster, you'll see all the great bands coming to town.

What a hot event and Johnny is so glad it's back. Here's to building on the success of the 2019 show.

And still the greatest ass-kicking in sports history.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ETTA JAMES!

Get in your seats. NOBODY will be seated after the music starts. If you have whiskey or bourbon around the home go ahead and pour yourself a tall one. Then just push play.

'Ball and Chain' classing up the joint this Friday night.
