July '09 - Great Weather

As you can see, we still could use a good artist to do something about our sign.

Heartland Unplugged is this Friday Night

This is just a reminder for everyone to come on out for July's Heartland Unplugged. It will be this Friday night from 6:00 to 10:00pm. Movies in the Park will be happening just outside the door in the church's park starting at 9:00pm. I've heard that the movie is Ice Age, the Meltdown. It should be a lot of fun. If you know anyone young (or young at heart) you might want to tell them about his. Bring lawn chairs and enjoy the free movie and popcorn.

Nice June Evening at Heartland Unplugged

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves at Heartland Unplugged on June 22, 2009. We had a great turnout and had a great time playing and singing all the favorites. A nice crowd turned out to listen and we all appreciated all of the homemade goodies....two fantastically moist cakes and a wonderful cobbler made using freshly picked raspberries. The cobbler was still warm and Pat and Dale brought along some vanilla ice cream to top it off with. I hope you enjoy looking at all of the wonderful pictures that were taken. (It looks like we could use a new sign if anyone out there is artistic.)

Bear Creek Church Fish Fry

On Saturday, June 6th, we went down to the Bear Creek Fish Fry in Osceola, MO. Great food and entertainment. Look close and you might just recognize someone.

May's Heartland Unplugged...Very Nice!

Once again we've had a very nice Heartland Unplugged and we have some great photos to share. All of us at HU were very excited to see so many new faces show up to play. Some were from cities like Warrensburg, MO, Emporia and Leavenworth, KS. Many people commented how well the group jelled together with their singing and playing. It was such a nice night. We were also very happy to see many of our friends from "Bluegrass Picking in the Meadows" show up to play. Again I'd like to comment on what a great program they have and what nice people they all are. I've added their Bluegrass Blogsite to the links on this page, so be sure and visit their site and make a comment or two. I know they enjoy the discussion.

April's Heartland Unplugged

I'm sorry that it took sooooo.... long for me to finally post pictures from last month's Heartland Unplugged. I told Frank (who took all the pictures) that I have a rule that if I post the pictures sometime before the next Heartland Unplugged, I did good. Well here I am the night before, trying to rush some pictures onto the net. I don't think Frank will be happy.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Sorry about the lack of pictures this month. Frank wasn’t at the event and no one else thought to bring a camera.

I think everyone was a little worn out after Christmas because I noticed that more than the usual number of people left earlier in the evening. Even then, we still had a few that stayed ‘til after 11:00pm. I was surprised when I didn’t see that many new instruments show up at the jam. Either Santa wasn’t all that generous or the economy is really starting to hurt us where it really counts. I guess it could be that we just all have enough guitars…but I can’t really see that. Can you ever have too many guitars?

My New Year’s Resolution for ’09 is to work with Doc and others to make Heartland Unplugged bigger and better than ever. If any of you have ideas for how to make this happen, come join us.
