Musical Fund Raising events

Plans are progressing well for the 4th Annual Johnny Cash Tribute show, February 28th here in Parkersburg. Watch for more updates along the way! Lisa Weaver and the Mid Town FRC staff are spearheading the promotion for this event. Lisa has instilled some fresh spirit into the promotion work, so contact her with ideas or to hear updates.
Look for an announcement in the next few days about another upcoming event, the 3rd annual "Whole Lotta Hank" tribute show (the music of Hank Williams). The foster care staff is spearheading this planning, with hopes of an April event. We are conceptualizing a Cajun Cookoff as part of this event, a new and exciting idea to broaden the fun (and hopefully fund raising!!!)

I am having a coffeehouse on February 16th (its a Monday) here at the storefront, to kick off THAT aspect of our musical series. Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart, two excellent singer songwriter musicians will be passing through from Pennsylvania back to their home state of Tennessee, and have agreed to put on a coffeehouse show that evening. They are very compelling and entertaining performers, and everyone who comes out, is guaranteed an enjoyable evening of music.
