About this Event
Join us for an unforgettable night of great food, live music and entertainment at Compass Point, home of Dirty Girl Adventures.
5:30 doors open and the FISH FRY STARTS! Fresh catfish from the Mighty Kaw plus sides for a $10 donation.
- Why are we hosting a FISH FRY? It's a fundraiser for ODIM, the agency we serve in Guatemala. We are taking a team to Guatemala in February to serve ODIM, a small grassroots agency serving the indiginous Mayan community. Our goal is to donate $10,000 annually towards the Healthy Mommy and Me program. Our buddy Jim is a Kansas River Fisherman who will provide fresh caught cat fish to go with the homemade sides and desserts provided by our Service Team.
7:00 The Beer Bellies take the stage! The Beer Bellies have been playing live, local music forever! Featuring two Kansas Music Hall of Fame musicians, this band will get you up and dancing, toe-tapping, and smiling!
The band features Carol Spears, inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame in 2022. In 1974, Carol joined her father’s band, 2009 KMHoF inductee Billy Spears. Playing twin fiddles with her father and singing in her own unique style, Carol played festivals and nightclubs from New Mexico to Colorado to Michigan and all across the Midwest. Carol has had the pleasure of opening for acts such as Asleep At The Wheel, Leon Russell, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, to name a few. For the last 20 years, Carol has been singing and playing with The Beer Bellies, a band originally formed by her late father and his friends.
Pedal Steel player Lynn Pillar was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame in 2010 with Tree Frog. Lynn is an amazing pedal steel player who continues to wow audiences with his playing
