Heart Throbs in Karlstad

The Heart Throbs sang at First Lutheran Church in Karlstad on May 18, 2012 on their "reunion tour" to raise funds for the New Orleans bound First Lutheran Youth (NO FLY) and for their own charity, Relay for Life.  They wowed the crowd with their rock and roll from the '50s and '60s.
A favorite feature of each Heartthrob concert is when they select a lady in the audience for a special love song.  Here a Heartthrob sings to Bethany Riveness while everyone watches with a smile on their face.

At the end of an energetic and entertaining concert these cool dudes left
with white jackets, pink carnations, and dark glasses.


Before the concert the youth served BBQs, potato sald, and chips.
Tanner and Kelly serve Pastor and Ruth. 

Lisa and Laurie were in charge of root beer floats.
What a wonderful treat!

After all was done, a formal picture of the Heartthrobs in Karlstad

Don't they all look grand in their matching white?
But who's missing a pink carnation?
