Ever since I was 6 years old I have dreamed of having my own Television Show. Thanks to CANTV, my dream has become a reality. Back when I was 6 years old, our family drove to Traverse City, Michigan and we rented a cabin from a local television celebrity by the name of Kent Haven. He asked us to be in the audience of his "Johnny Carson" style show in the summer of 1958. The studio lights, the huge cameras and the staff and crew sent "goose pimples" up and down my spine.

That was it, at that point I knew that someday I would be there, in front of the camera! Of course, life took over and as I grew older and older, that dream faded and faded. Then, low and behold, I had the chance to take courses at CANTV and now, I have my own show. What a fabulous experience and the best part is that I can share the experience with family and friends and YOU!!

If you like to sing and have a great time, this is the Show for you and a chance for you to be a STAR!!!

Together, we can make a difference in our lives and have a fun time doing it.....

Thanks for taking the time to visit our website and I hope you will be a future participant as a Contestant, Audience member or Sponsor of Karie Okie Court!!!!

Sincerely, Charles "The Karie Okie Queen" Barenbrugge
