To celebrate Melvis’s time of service in the military the Melvis Fan
Club chose Armed Forces Day to tour the beautiful Lynfred Winery in
Roselle, Illinois. It was a day of fun filled Activities put together
by the MFC Event Coordinator, Christie. Following a tour of the
quaint winery, which was founded in 1979 by Lynn and Fred Koehler, the
fan club went to the Event Coordinator’s home where they created
home-made pizzas and watched “the Muppets Wizard of Oz”. Later in the
evening they headed out to Hoffman Lanes to experience another
spectacular performance by the Melvis and to dance to yours truly’s
rendition of Dead or Alive – You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).
“I’m enjoying my role as Event Coordinator and I believe the first MFC
outing was fabulous” said Event Coordinator Christie of the days
activities. “I’m glad to see that Christie is taking her role as
Event Coordinator so seriously” said Barb before touring the ivy
covered winery. The MFC members in attendance would like to thank a
random passerby for taking the picture of them in front of the winery
sign and to thank Christie’s stove for being the perfect height to set
the camera on in the absence of a tripod.
Regretfully, the Melvis was unable to attend the winery tour because
he was unable to find the correct location. Had this been a tour of
the Budweiser or Miller brewery instead of a winery though, this
reporter is confident that the Melvis would have been able to sniff
out the location.
