The Hill Country Blenders old-time barbershop quartets are ready to make any “special someone” feel even more cherished during Valentine's Day season by serenading them with song.
In addition to a love song serenade, each special someone will receive a red rose and a photograph of themselves with the quartet.
Around 12 men are members of the Hill Country Blenders, and they practice and perform all year long, said member Chuck Johnson at practice Tuesday evening, Feb. 3.
The Blenders quartet can serenade sweethearts or special friends at home, work, or any location in the region, including Marble Falls, Meadowlakes, Burnet, Granite Shoals, Kingsland, Buchanan Dam and Horseshoe Bay.
“Your thoughtfulness will be long remembered and the gift package will say, ‘I love you!’ or ‘You’re special!’ long after the last chord,” according to the Hill Country Blenders.
A quartet will perform for $35. Funds are donated to local charities, including CASA, Boys & Girls Clubs and several church outreach organizations.
Quartets will be available Friday, Feb. 13, and Saturday, Feb. 14. Scheduling is from 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
Arrival times are approximate and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Blenders suggest reserving time slots early.
The deadline for ordering is Wednesday, Feb. 11.
To schedule, contact Jim McCutchan at 325-388-4446 or jbmccutchan@nctv.com. Any Blender member can also take your order.
The Hill Country Blenders is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
