John D. Vance bought the land now known as "Vance's Bar" in 1948, he started a auto garage with tow trucks and gas pumps. In 1954 he attached another building to the garage and started an "18 year old beer joint" and called it "Club 41". John added to the existing structure and in 1963 he turned the garage into a country music club then known as "Vance's Bar 41".

The business was going well and in 1973 John added added another 10,000 square feet to the property and it was then simply called "Vance's Bar"....or just "Vance's".

Faron Young was a regular at Vance's and knew the Vance family well as did Roy Orbison.

Dean Lange and The Pony Express were the "house band" at Vance's for many years and opened for most of the Country Shows as well as the Rock and Roll shows. John called The Pony Experess " The Greatest Country Band In The Midwest"..........and they were!

John died in February of 1979 when the business was thriving and wife Rita, along with daughter Peg and son's Dick, Jack and Larry used all of their energy and knowlege to keep Vance's buzzing, there were many great moments and memories to be shared there.

After many long years of hard work it was time for Rita to retire and the business and property was sold in 1995 and was never opened after that.

I know these things because John and Rita are my parents and I had the opportunity to live the exciting experience.
