About

After a five year break, three high school friends from the tiny village of Waterman will entertain us, raise money for breast cancer research and education, and compete for the title of Old Fat Guy Idol. In 2010, Chuck Wesenberg won. Larry Meredith won in 2011, Bobby Strausberger in 2012 and 2013, then Chuck again in 2014.

On June 6, Old Fat Guy Idol will be supporting fellow Waterman classmate Connie Clausen Wood and her friend Cora Watson in their walk for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day.

Join us for music, camraderie and to make a contribution to the fight against breast cancer. You can vote for your favorite singer of the evening by giving a donation to local breast cancer research and support. The “old fat guy” who collects the most donations will be the winner.

The idea for the event was triggered in 2010 when a video of Chuck was posted on Facebook and revived the friendly argument about which of the three has the better voice. It was decided to hold a public competition in behalf of Larry Meredith’s participation in Susan G. Komen 3-Day. Over the five years the event has earned over $22,000 in donations. All proceeds will be used for global breast cancer research and local breast health services. You can read more about the Susan G. Komen 3-Day here.

In addition to the Old Fat Guy Idol competition, there will be live music throughout the evening. There is no cover charge for the event.
