2010 Great Year Ahead!!

Hello from Bluegrass Pickin' Time again. 2010 looks like a great year for us. We have been busy again getting ready for YOU to come join in with us in celebrating our 29th annual Memorial Day Festival and our 42nd annual Labor Day Festival. Browse the website for all details and photos at www.bluegrasspickintime.com



Our health is good and we have been busy......in fact, we have enclosed the cook shack, added onto it, updated kitchen equipment, for you as a full-time restaurant and we call it "The Out Of The Way Cafe". It is new to Dixon and we are planning for a busy year.



We want to thank these very special people for their "free" time in making this possible: Jim Humphries, Larry Weber, Allen Brown, Alan Pledger, Greg, Craig Ozee, Richard Ozee, Danny Rollins, Brad Reeder, and of course, Scott & Bessie.



As we get closer to the festival, we could always use help in getting ready. If you wanted to come for a day or come camp for the week, we might even get in a little "jammin".



The band line-up is another great one. These bands have music fans from near and far. Missouri has a lot of fine, traditional bands and we have acquired some of them for you. They will be jammin' throughout the park and you might have the opportunity to play with one of your favorite pickers. We thank them for that.



Our vendors will be available, as always, with their fine treasures. Make sure you have your Christmas list so you can work on it while you are here. We will also have the "camper yard sales". That means that you bring your junk or treasures for someone else to use. It is a good way to make new friends.



Wanted to let you know that Mona had hip surgery this past fall and she is doing very well. She is getting around now even without a walker or any assistance. She has recovered quickly. Her band is still playing around and will be here at both festivals. There is a documentry being filmed on her and will be previewed at our Friday night festival. Be sure you are here to view it. And be here Saturday and Sunday to hear her once again.



See you all here at Dixon Bluegrass Pickin' Time on May 27 or before.

May God bless you as you travel and give you peace and love.

Our prayers are with you,

Bessie Reeder
