Chase County Doin's
By Sue Scott Smith

July 24, 2008 - Yesiree, Jim Bob.........this here is some summertime weather! We're watching the Dolly hurricane closely; we've got too many loved ones in the way of a Texas Gulf Coast hurricane. Oldest son, who works for the Academy sporting goods chain........ reports that Academy has several truckloads of relief supplies loaded, ready to respond to any location that gets hammered. That's quite a company!

Saturday night's Contra Dance was the best EVER. Thanks to everybody who participates........in whatever manner.
We DO have some grand news to share. Got an email from NICK CHARLES and pretty Penny, confirming that they'll be here for BROOMWEED FESTIVAL - Saturday, September 27th. We are thinking that the LAY FAMILY BAND will be here for an afternoon performance, and DAN BLISS is ready to "open" for NICK CHARLES. And then, all the "jammin'" ya'll can work in. Why, that ought to be one fine day's worth of music!
As was last Friday night. Rich and Jennie headed back to Arizona yesterday afternoon. With a promise that they'll be back! That's a good thing.

DO get down to the CHASE COUNTY FAIR this week. We want to remind you that Deputy Ryan White will have a booth at the FAIR.......dealing with CHILD SAFETY SEAT information. We urge all of you with children to take advantage of the information. This is IMPORTANT STUFF to help keep your children as safe as possible. We'll see ya' at the FAIR.

Mercy.........this is the last Friday of the month, already........again. That'll be OLD TIMEY ROCK & ROLL and VINTAGE COUNTRY.
Then, we'll begin the rotation all over again for August. Stay cool........in our Fair Week Community of Chase County, Kansas!

July 17, 2008 - Oh, my.......... hasn't this beautiful weather been a blessing? And, in JULY!! The report for this coming Friday night looks a little scary, though. Perhaps the rain will hold off long enough to let us be outside one more time.

Last Friday evening was a slice of Heaven......... great music; great crowd; great weather! The jam session's new friends from Arizona were back again. With a new (really old) instrument NONE of us had ever seen before. What a treat.
This morning, we got an email about a family band from the Sedgwick, Kansas area. Apparently they have 8 children....... who play everything. It sounds glorious......... we hope to be able to bring them to you soon.

As I write this, there is a shadow cris-crossing my peripheral vision. For heaven's sake......there is a BIRD in the office at the Prairie Maid. Now, how'd THAT get in here?

This coming Friday night is TALLGRASS GOSPEL SINGIN'.
Friday night, July 25 is OLD TIMEY ROCK & ROLL and VINTAGE COUNTRY.

The CHASE COUNTY FAIR begins July 27. There's several days of activity to keep you busy.

We'd like to add that Deputy Ryan White is setting up a booth at the FAIR, dealing with CHILD SAFETY SEATS. We are fortunate to have a member or our law enforcement team with a passion such as this issue. We'd urge all of you who EVER have occasion to transport children to pay particular mind to Deputy White's information.

And then.........it's AUGUST, already. And August is gonna be a great month........for several reasons. We're gonna keep you in suspense.

Enjoy our wonderful Summertime Community of Chase County, Kansas. We'll see ya' at the FAIR.

July 10, 2008 - Reunion Weekend was great! Saw so many folks we hadn't seen in awhile! The CLASSICS were in fine tune, and Terra and Richard played with the group. And the weather was entirely cooperative!

We just don't know HOW the Independence Day weekend could have been any better! Friday night was grand! Saturday evening with Judy Coder and Jake Simpson was absolutely perfect! And we met some new Bikers Sunday! It was a busy, wonderful, weekend!

Didja' get to see the Topeka Capital Journal article on TallGrass Gospel Music? It included pictures of our wonderful musicians and "accomplished listeners." Then, Rodney Cotton gave Monty an copy of the Turnpike newspaper........and there was the entire reprint of the Wichita Eagle article of August, last year. More pictures of our wonderful musicians and "accomplished listeners." Ya'll are just plumb famous!

This next weekend is K-177 BLUEGRASS PICKIN'.
Friday, July 20 is TALLGRASS GOSPEL SINGIN'.
And Friday, July 27 is OLD TIMEY ROCK & ROLL and VINTAGE COUNTRY.

And the FAIR begins this month, for Heaven's sake!

It's time again, to remind the gentlemen of our Community that the MENS' PRAYER BREAKFAST meets every Thursday morning at the Emma........at 7:30.......for Breakfast and Bible Study and Prayer. You're all welcome to join the group.
We'll catch ya' again next week. Stay in the shade.......in our Summertime Community of Chase County, Kansas!
