It’s toe tappin’ time in Yankeetown, so get your feet ready. The Yankeetown-
Inglis Woman’s Club is where the tappin’ will happen. On July 14th, Withlacoochee Area
Residents, Inc. will present the second of their 2nd Saturday Summer Concert Series. ET

ET was born in Belle Glade and grew up in Hialeah with a passion for song writ-
ing. Entertaining and down to earth, with songs that range from inspirational and philo-
sophical to downright hilarious, Morris is a crowd pleaser.
Pamela Jo Hatley and Steel Olmstead will take the stage around 8pm. Both prac-
ticing attorneys in Tampa, Pamela and Steele bring fans their own special brand of country
and thought-provoking original songs as well as humor. Pamela, definitely the leader, has
been known to quip about her music and marriage partner, “I play guitar, banjo, and uku-
lele. Steele sings and plays whatever I tell him to!”
An added treat will be ice cream. You can’t have a summer party without ice
