Co-Sponsored by the Colon Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce. Since 1934 Abbotts Magic Get Together has been happening here in Colon. For a short time Percy took it out of town, however my father Recil Bordner brought it back to the then new high school in 1961. Since then air conditioning has been added and the evening shows are still spectacular. By personal invitation I am inviting you to buy a ticket for the entertaining evening shows at the remodeled High School. For families, we have a special family coupon for the Wednesday evening show which will allow 2 adults and 2 children bleacher seats for $20 (a $80 value). There are also specials at the Colon Banking Center for the Wednesday and Thursday shows in the bleachers. Friday’s evening show will have fireworks afterwards, and Saturdays Benefit Matinee will feature Colon’s own BJ Mallen as MC. Saturday’s grand finale evening show will be followed up by an award ceremony in the Elementary School. Hope to see you all there, its going to be a wonderful time for all.
For those who do not know the history of this event we have a free compendium (its a pdf book thats over 500 pages) that you can download at http://magicgettogether.com/compendium.html
