Everyone present had a wonderful, fun-filled weekend. We celebrated 43 years of traditional bluegrass music again. Our bands were superb. Special Consensus first time here, The Martins, great, as always, Missouri River Band, fine musicians, Bluegrass Addiction has been truly supportive in every way, Blue Steel Rail, a great new-formed group, Wild Rose, Shirley has always been a very-much requested entertainer, Mona Jones and The Bluegrass Travelers, which presented her with her retirement award, Beverly's Hillbillies, always supportive, Backroads Bluegrass and Rodlee Lewis Family, upcoming performers and, of course, The Bluegrass Pickin Time Band.
The reunion of The Bluegrass Five was a fun-filled, entertaining hour. During that show, Bessie presented the traditional musician's award to a well-deserving musician, J. D. Fritchy. Thanks to everyone who made all this possible one more time.
And my thanks every time to my MC, Gene Skinner, he is the greatest and to Phillip Pitts and Spectacular Sound, who are my favorite and the greatest, also. Thanks, guys.
Our goodbyes,
May God richly bless all of you.

Surprise for Labor Day 2011
Hi, Music Fans
Just finished our Memorial Day Festsival and had a great time with great bands. The Midnight Flight is really in the lime-light with their new faces (girls' that is). Enjoyed Rhonda's girls with Next Best Thing again. And, of course, Blugrass Addiction is getting really good. I don't want to leave anyone out, but the festsival was one of the best we have had. Just coming out of winter makes it a good place to go.
We have been in much prayer and support for the victims in Joplin, which suffered one of the largest tornados in 60 years. A one-mile by seven-miles of destruction through the heart of their town. If there is any way you can support them by working or financially, please do. BUT the best thing is Prayer.
During my show, Bluegrass Pickin' Time Band, I presented our musician's award. It was awarded to Jerry Rosa. For those of you who were here at the festsival, Jerry was shocked to say the least. I was so proud to award this to him. We are doing this at every festival. To give something small for a great contribution and dedication to our traditional bluegrass music time in history. We have awarded in the past, Harold Rowden and Mona Jones with a "This Is Your Life" segment; Carolyn Vincent with the Bluegrass Pickin' Time Family of Bluegrass Music Award; Richard Brown and Jerry Rosa. Be sure to be present at our 43rd Labor Day Festival, September 1-4, 2011 for our next musician award.
NOW, for the surprise at our next Labor Day Festival . . . . . We are presenting one more time a "reunion" of Harold Rowden and The Bluegrass Five. All members of that band are invited on stage with Harold. We will also remember those who have passed on. This will be a special time for us as well as for Harold.
Thanks for supporting the park at our festivals and throughout the year.

We've Been Busy
Gee, its been a year since I have written. We have celebrated one year here at Out Of The Way Cafe. It has been an exciting year meeting and serving new friends every week. We have changed our hours, though. We are closed Sunday and Monday. Open Tuesday-Wednesday 7:00am to 2:00pm and Thursday through Saturday from 7:00am to 8:00pm. Our Catfish specialty on Fridays is really good. It is tasteful and about all you can eat.
The Bluegrass Park is still open year round for camping. We offer full hookups for those traveling or contractors needing a park to stay in while going back and forth to work (whether it be on our highways, power lines, or at Ft. Wood. Make us your first stop after the Winter at our 30th Annual Bluegrass Music Festival this Memorial Day weekend, 2011.
As for Scott and me......I am doing really great. Celebrated my 2nd birthday with my new heart and with my last biopsy in October 2010, my rejection percentage factor was 0%. I am so thankful to my Lord for his hand on me. I have been enjoying my grandchildren very much. Scott, on the other hand, had a major stroke in March 2010 and has been trying to recover ever since. It is slow. He is able to walk and get around, like always, but his memory is short-wired. It's been a struggle for him and he gets frustrated very easily. We are holding on to make this next festival and are looking forward to the great bands in the line-up.
Want each one of you to come support Bluegrass Pickin' Time and May God protect you on your travels to and from our park. See you!
