PCAT PRESENTS POLECATS

Monday, August 4th, 2008

17 July, 2008, Plummer, ID The Plummer Community Action Team has decided to sponsor the Panhandle Polecats as part of their potluck reunion picnic in Plummer on Sunday Aug. 10, the last day of the Westside Rendezvous. The public is welcome to the picnic. PCAT will provide hotdog, beverages and condiments and asks attendees to bring side dishes and deserts to share.

The lunch starts at 1 pm. The Panhandle Polecats will play from 2- 4 pm just before the community singspiration.

PCAT is a community organization with a mission to provide volunteer services for the betterment of the Plummer Community. Prior to this spring primary election, they sponsored a candidate forum. They have done several clean-up and beautification projects in Plummer and will partner with the Horizon Community Vitality Committee and Community Pride Committee in painting some buildings in Plummer. The Westside Rendezvous is a project of the Community Pride Committee. PCAT jumped at the opportunity to participate in the Rendezvous and go for a class reunion picnic as an annual event.

Several members heard the Panhandle polecats sing at Plummer Bible Church in June and wanted the group to come back to town. PCAT will take up a donation at the picnic to help cover the fee but will be responsible for covering the additional expense. The Panhandle Polecats are “BLUEGRASS with a heapin’ helping’ of gospel and wild mountain tunes, with a dollop of country, old-time, western, and a dab of the blues for good measure.” This group of five siblings were raised on the Rathdrum Prairie and for four years have continued their good natured family squabbles on stage. They say “The band consists of Jenny Little - laying down a solid rhythm on the doghouse bass; Hank Little - the bluesman - on Dobro and harmonica; Molly Little on mandolin; and twins Austin (banjo) and Bonnie (guitar). All the Polecats sing at one time or another with Jenny and Molly handling most of the lead vocals.“ The Panhandle Polecats will be one of the highlights of the Rendezvous and they fit in nicely with the country and western part of the theme.

For Rendezvous information, contact Kathy at 686-1366 or Pat at 686-9156
