Luau at the Possum Emporium
2026-05-23 10:45 - 14:00 | Possum Emporium, 1774 County Road 642, Mentone, AL, United States
This is going to be a blast! We are playing at a luau to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the Possum Emporium.
Time: Set up by 10:45 to start playing at 11am. We will play until around 12:15, break for lunch and play more after lunch. We can play as long as we like.
Setup: We will be playing on the front porch. Chairs will be provided. The space is small-ish and if the weather is nice we can spread out onto the pavement. (I’d say the space is about the size we had at the MERF House)
Address:1774 County Road 642
Mentone, Alabama
Date: May 23
Lunch: Lunch will be provided for the players. All others-plates are $10.
Menu: roast pig (a whole one) and Hawaiian sides
We need to get a headcount so we’ll know how many chairs we will need. If you know already that you will not be able to come, please let me know ASAP. It is Memorial Day weekend so some of us are likely to be out of town. Please let Lila or myself know.

The Mentone Ukes are Playing Train Songs
2026-06-13 13:00 - 14:30 | Moon Lake Community Library, 4607 AL Hwy. 117, Mentone, AL, 35984, United States
We talked about for years having a full train set for one of our practices. Well Romey found some new ones to play and we pulled out others that we previously played and now we have a full set of train songs. So get ready to blow your train whistles and wear your engineer cap if you have one. This is going to be fun.
Beginners are welcome and we have loaner ukuleles available.
