Last month Dante and Lorna Sue put on their comedy skit with a political slat. The costumes and makeup were great as well as the original comedy. This month we will have our resident magician Philip Martin up to his usual tricks.
Host Phil Mathewson never knows who will stop by since we have some much talent in Lake County and we are even getting out of town performers now.
Join in as a performer or a member of the audience.
The cafe is located at 301 Main St., Lakeport and has a house piano and guitar available in case you forget yours. Enjoy the Fourth of July weekend.

Wild About Books will host a book signing event at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 12, featuring Bert Atwood, author of “My Father Was A Crop Duster.”
Have you wondered what kind of person becomes a crop duster? How did the biplane dusters of the 20th century evolve? What did it take to build and maintain California’s largest fleet of duster?
In “My Father Was A Crop Duster” discover how pilots learn to crop dust. How biplanes were transformed into crop dusting work horses. Humorous incidents, dangerous incidents and near misses. Fatalities. Pilots who won big at the Reno Air Races. Pilots who pioneered crop dusting at night. How Bud and Leila Atwood built a crop dusting empire.
The book is a rare glimpse into the founding and success of California’s premiere 20th century crop dusting company. The writer’s personal touch and the private stories that only insiders knew is just great.
Bert Atwood is the sole surviving child of Bud and Leila Atwood. He was privy to more of the inner workings and incidents regarding their lives and the story of Atwood Crop Dusters than any other person now living.
Bert’s interviews of many former company associates yielded a vastly more detailed history of the company then he possessed on his own. This book includes 76 cameos of these associates providing great insight into their contributions to the company.
Printed in full color with over 100 color pictures and 100 black and white photos/images, “My Father Was A Crop Duster” is a beautiful “coffee table” book as well as a well detailed history.
Wild About Books is located at 14290 Olympic Drive in Clearlake, next door to Lisa's clothing store.
