The Happy Trails Children's Foundation has announced the Happy Trails Breakfast Club, a special fund raising event to benefit the abused children served by the foundation. This special event will commemorate the lives and careers of legendary cowboy stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, the King of the Cowboys and Queen of the West. The Breakfast Club will provide an opportunity for Roy and Dale's fans, Western film fans, and especially fans of old B-Westerns to come together in an informal way to enjoy a breakfast buffet, meet a special celebrity guest, enjoy live music in the tradition of the Sons of the Pioneers, and see a Roy Rogers double feature on the big screen. There will be a live auction of collectibles and memorabilia, a question and answer session, and much more. This is a great opportunity to turn back the clock to those thrilling days of our youth when we sat in a dark theater and watched Roy and Trigger bring truth, justice, music, romance, comedy and action to the Wild West as they galloped across the silver screen. This was entertainment for the entire family at its very best! Our special celebrity guest will be stuntman/character actor Neil Summers. Neil has appeared in countless movies and TV Shows for more than 40 years, including 5 movies with John Wayne. Outspoken, opinionated and direct, Neil has been one of our most popular celebrity guests at the Roy Rogers Film Festival. He has been blown up, shot, knifed, struck by a rattlesnake, beat up, fallen down stairs, off balconies, and off more horses than he can count, all for the camera. Neil is still active in Hollywood and he has many exciting and fun stories to share with us. Musical guests will be the Tumbling Tumbleweeds, a group of young men who were a big hit at the inaugural edition of the Breakfast Club this past February. There will be other special guests present including Dale Park as Gabby. The Happy Trails Breakfast Club will be held 9 a.m. Saturday, September 13, at the Ambassador Hotel in Victorville, located at the Palmdale Road exit on I-15. The cost is $29 per person with a 10% discount for Happy Trails Trailblazer Club members. You do not have to be a member of the Trailblazer Club or any other organization to attend. All are welcome. Reservations are required so that the cooks will know how much breakfast to make. We invite you to come in costume, western or casual dress. For reservations, tickets, or more information, please call the Happy Trails Children's Foundation, (760) 240-3330. If you do not get an answer, please leave your name, phone number and a brief message and your call will be returned. We accept American Express, Discover, MasterCard and VISA. The Ambassador Hotel is offering a special room rate for Breakfast Club guests. For reservations, please call (760) 245-6565. This is an event you do not want to miss.
