Pulling money from a hat:Jaycees sponsor magic show as fund-raiser for Camp Discovery
|
Free to the public and children of all ages, the show will feature Dave Vaught, a Bristol, Tenn.-based magician. With over 15 years experience, he has performed his magic on cruise ships, in night clubs, convention centers, schools and colleges and fairs and festivals. He has made five television appearances, including one on HBO.
Jaycee Lisa Arnold said his performance will feature various types of magic acts, including cutting his wife, Billie, into three pieces. In addition to just watching Vaught perform his magic, those in attendance will be taught how to perform a little magic themselves. Throughout his act he promotes anti-drug and anti-alcohol themes and also encourages reading.
“It’s going to be real educational as well as a fun thing to do,” said Arnold. “Plus, all donations raised will go for a great cause.”
That great cause is Camp Discovery, a summer camp for mentally and physically challenged people, both young and old, located on Cordell Hull Lake in Putnam County. Fully accredited by the American Camping Association, Camp Discovery is a one-of-a-kind camp which gives those people with disabilities a chance to attend summer camp they might not otherwise have.
Tax-deductible donations for Camp Discovery will be collected at the door. The suggested donation is $5, but anything will be appreciated.
