Making it's debut back in 1947, the Apollo Club spent 39 years bringing entertainment to everyone.  Each year from September until June, the members would get together to plan and then rehearse their newest show.  Sometimes, they would treat the town to a Christmas performance.  And other times it would be a Minstrel show or formal concert.  But, whatever their selection they remained one of the most popular groups in our recent history until they disbanded back in 1986. 

However!!  With their recent appearance during the S-150, they proved yet again - they still have the power to "bring the house down"!  So..."Thank You Apollo Club members".  Thank you for all the years and for so many wonderful memories!
