Labor Day - 43 Years

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.
Bessie & Scott Reeder
