Third Annual Antique Show Set For more than a decade, Lincoln City has been the place to be in February! Lincoln City’s first Antique Week, created and developed by local antique merchants, the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, and the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, was held in 1991 and included citywide antique store sales and historical tours. Thirteen years later, Lincoln City is still the place to be in February, when Antique Week is held again on Feb. 7-17, 2003. Since its inception, more activities and participants have been added each year. In addition to citywide sales at more than 80 dealers in 10 shops and eight antique malls, Antique Week has grown to offer education and entertainment for all interests and ages.

The Gatlin Brothers Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers to Perform It’s time to get back to the country with the music of Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers at Chinook Winds Casino on Feb. 28 and March 1. For the past four decades, Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers have traveled from Texas around the world, performing their brand of music for millions of fans through live concerts and television. Their journey has taken them to the great concert halls of America, sharing the harmony and great songs for which they are so famous. Larry, an accomplished songwriter, has written some of country music’s greatest songs for Elvis Presley, Dottie West, Johnny Cash, and Anne Murray, just to name a few. Barbra Streisand, Tom Jones, and Johnny Mathis also have recorded his songs, gamering him respect in both the country and pop fields. Along with his brothers, Steve and Rudy, he’s living his dream to sing together with them. Steve has starred in several self-produced productions in Myrtle Beach, S.C., receiving rave reviews. These productions have allowed him to step out and showcase his own style of music and comedy. His first love, however, has always been singing with his brothers. Back in Texas, Rudy is busy on the speaker’s circuit as well as lending his name to and playing on the Celebrity Golf Tour. In the past, he starred in the hit musical Oklahoma and has taken the lead in organizing many of the brothers’ charity events. He has a great love for children, as do all the brothers, and nowhere has this been better displayed than in his 20 years of tireless service to the Gatlin Brothers MDA Golf Tournament in Dallas, Texas. The Gatlin Brothers have recorded more than 25 albums, including country, gospel, and big band. They have appeared on more than 75 national TV shows, toured internationally, and endorsed products such as American Express, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dr. Pepper, and Amoco. Most recently, they sang at the White House for President George W. Bush, a long-time friend. Their awards and accomplishments are many, but their legacy will be their God-given talent to entertain fans around the world, inspiring them to reach for their own dreams, just as the brothers did years ago in Abilene, Texas. Don’t miss the opportunity to see these legendary entertainers in person when they perform at Chinook Winds Casino. Show time for both nights is 8 p.m. Tickets are $25-$40, depending on seat location. February 2003 □ Siletz News □ 21
