July is Ozarks Food Harvest Month at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. That means when you donate blood in July, CBCO will TRIPLE the value of your LifePoints donation to Ozarks Food Harvest.

You earn LifePoints each time you donate blood, plasma or platelets at CBCO, and you can donate those LifePoints to the charity of your choice. CBCO will convert donated LifePoints to cash for your chosen nonprofit. You can donate LifePoints at any time, but in July 2025, your donations to Ozarks Food Harvest will go three times as far. Plus, you have a chance to win awesome prizes!

We’re grateful for our partnership with CBCO and the lifesaving work they do in the Ozarks. Thank you for showing your support and saving lives by donating blood.

Sign up to donate at cbco.org.

One Night Only - Ultimate Tribute to the Bee Gees

Friday, July 18th, 2025

Doors: 6:30PM
Show: 7:30PM

__________________________
One Night Only is the ultimate tribute to the Bee Gees. Come and experience the sound, the harmonies and the beautiful falsetto voices of the brothers Gibb. Performing with a full band, the show recreates the Bee Gees 1998 Las Vegas appearance live. The show suspends belief as it weaves through hit after hit from their classic 60’s catalogue to the groove of their 70’s Disco era hits that made the band a worldwide sensation. Hits Like Staying Alive, Night Fever, Massachusetts and Nights on Broadway, all performed note for note by award-winning vocalists Colum Henry, Dave Lafame, and Arron Solomon. This international touring act has played to sold-out, standing ovation audiences throughout North America.

So put on your white suits, sequined dresses, boogie woogie dancin shoes and get ready to sing and dance the night away with One Night Only, a Tribute to the Bee Gees
