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.
