OK Gang - COVID Changes (big surprise 2020) This event is still a GO at this time ~ BUT~ Paramount will NOT be able to play due to Johnson CO Covid Restrictions change, us out-of-towners are not going to be able to be in the lineup.

We do, however really hope many in the KC ara get out to support this event!

To all planning to attend the B.E. Strong Benefit for Bill Ely. Yes, it is still A GO at this time. Please allow us 24 hours to revise according to Jackson Counties Covid guidelines. A new schedule will follow.

What we do know is the mandates are 50% capacity and all persons must be seated. If not seated to go to the restroom, or to the raffle, silent auction areas, masks must be worn. Standing on the dance floors will NOT be allowed. We will be scrambling to pull seating down to the dance floor level to accommodate the volume.

The bar will have to close at 10pm to the general public. We will shuffle time and bands accordingly.

Please be patient for one day and stay posted to change to the event as the week plays out

Bill Ely was diagnosed with Brain Cancer early this summer.

Bill is a 23 year public servant of the Blue Springs Community, a veteran Marine, husband and father of two teen children. He is also a talented musician most recently spending 5 years as the bass player/backing vocalist for Villains Dance.

This Event is to help the Ely family focus on life with each other rather than the overwhelming worries of expenses.

Three GREAT Bands: Revolution Calling - The #1 tribute to Queensryche, Paramount, and SyxPac (if you haven't heard them yet, YOU HAVE to check them out) will be providing live entertainment. There is NO cover charge but donations for the Ely Family will be accepted during the evening.

Many other great activities such as Silent and Live Auctions, Raffles and 50/50 with some unique and one of a kind items.

Food will be provided for $10 Donation per Plate ($5 Kids 10 and Under).
