The Campbell Dance Studio is back again, celebrating their 35th year of participation, with the popular “Dancing Deputies” dance group. Made up of local ladies, they perform each year for Charlotte Frontier Days. Wilma Campbell, former local Dance Studio owner, dreamed up the idea for an entertaining addition to the new festivities. These exceptional ladies have dubbed themselves “step-sisters” and have shared wonderful friendships over the years. Often a commitment of this type is far too great for most people, but because the “Deputies” perform for just limited engagements, it is tailor made for their lives.

Centerville is the culmination of the efforts of two great bands combining to form one. The term "supergroup" has to come to mind when you look at the resume behind this compilation of artistic individuals. Centerville was the brainchild of Emily Cradit and Lauren Guilfoyle, both talented vocalists in their own right. They teamed up and immediately started making waves in the community, highlighted by winning the Michigan State Finals of the Colgate Country Showdown to compete in the Regional Finals in Ohio and also opening for Three Men and a Tenor.
Bring into the picture a band named Cryn' Wolf whose resume includes being the longest running house band for the Colgate Country Showdown - over six years, opening for Josh Gracin, and playing everywhere from Wisconsin to West Virginia. Key members of that group decided to join forces with Centerville. Add a second, yes, second fiddle, and solid drums, and you've got the new Centerville. Seeing and hearing is, believing!!! The talent of the seven members in this band is nothing short of astounding. The musicianship, vocals, and stage presence truly makes Centerville a triple threat. The waves started by Emily and Lauren are now resonating, and will no doubt build into a tidal wave of success in the music business. Don't miss the boat. Get on board now!!!
