article by ;
DOC 'Hollywood' JONES

GOLD BEACH, OREGON
WOW, is about the only way to describe the fun.
Held
the second Saturday of October @ the Event Center on the Beach @7pm.

Tellers of TALL TALES from all over the world competing in the ultimate TALL TALES TELL OFF.
There was a full slate of TALES from the likes of "city council Sue", Ray "spiderman" Hamilton, Mark Twain, William "jeff" Clinton just to mention some of the many who participated.
The crowd was filled with a list of who's who in the entertainment field, with luminaries such as; Hollywood Stuntman & Producer Jack Gill, with his elegant wife Morgan, 13 time NHRA Funny Car Champion John 'brute' Force, Bill 'the spin stops here' O'Reilly, members of the Gold Beach City Council, some folks from Los Angeles, Flora Dell, lead singer from the group 'the Agness Five' and so many more.

Hathaway Jones was even seen coaching some of the finalists back stage, before the BIG show.

The show started of with the musical talents of
the BEACH BELLES. Their rendition of the classic Jimmy Hendricks from Woodstock playing the National Anthem was spectacular to say the least. Who knew that those types of sounds could come from a piano.

The program was emceed by the over qualified,
SCOTT 'is it rainin' outside' LEWIS.
