Thanks to Gary and staff for asking Belinda and I to come sing and share in the celebration of Green Valley’s 15th Year Anniversary. Also a major ‘Thank You’ to Jay Henderson for stepping in and playing fiddle for us on such short notice. You really saved us, and got us out of a big pinch! Also thank you to Mr. ‘Punkin’ Milburn for letting us use his wonderful sound equipment. It was great sharing the night with you and getting to hear your music collection while we took a break. Thanks to our backup dancers/singers: Megan, Alexis, and Lydia. You gals really know your Taylor Swift songs! Great job guys! Thanks again to Jennifer Gardner for making more shirts; short AND long-sleeve. Thanks to Belinda French, Carolyn French, and all those who help to promote the event, and to Carlie Ross and all those who helped to decorate the stage. And last but not least, Thank You to all those who came and showed your support for Gary and who helped make the day a big success! It was also a night of fun. In the wee hours of the night we got to hear some jokes on stage - AND then—— as the night started to wind down, ‘Punkin’ played some tunes that got people to kick up their heels a little bit. Well….. maybe a lot. Man, was there ever some dancing going on! And yes, there are pictures. However, to save those from embarrassment, we won’t post any of them on myspace. Ha! Thanks again to everybody who participated.

One of the hottest Hoedown Day’s I can remember, especially to be in the middle of October. But with the warm temperatures, it was also one of the biggest crowds I’ve seen. It was great to see everyone again! So many familiar faces. You made a Breckinridge County boy feel very welcome! It’s always great to come back home. Thanks to Gary Tom Smith for the nice introduction on stage and to Ints Kampars for his nice comments on the microphone. It was also a treat to visit my WXBC family in their booth. Thank you for your continued support Dennis and Jo Ann. Hopefully I’ll see ya next year!
