The Chucklehead Hoedown

The Chucklehead  Hoedown will be held on Feb. 6 in the Garagery, from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

This is a family fun night of jokes, puns, riddles, gags and goofs for folks of all ages. It's a round robin format: First one person tells a joke, then the next person tells theirs, until we run out of either jokes or time.
Note: These will be jokes, not standup, storytelling or personal experiences.

Doors will open to the public at 5:15, jokesters are asked to show up at 4:45 so the lineup can be assigned. All jokesters will receive a free soda; drinks will be available for purchase by all other guests.

Registration will be closed on January 31, in order to know how many participants there will be..
