New Vienna Hometown Fundraiser

We had a great time in New Vienna, Ohio today at the Hometown Fundraiser. They had a great Flea Market all day long, and there were a few cruise-ins as well, including the Marauder Van (check back for a pic of this monster, really). The kids enjoyed a Huge Moonwalk Attraction and there was lots of great food. We want to thank Engine House Pizza for helping out by opening early for our event. We want to also thank the New Vienna Planning Commission for working together to bring some life back to the Gazebo and Santa House. And Special thanks go out to Kim Steward, Linda Ruble, and Lori Blackburn for their hard work in coordinating all the different areas and people involved.
We arrived about 9:30am to get the music rollin'. The great folks of New Vienna we're already gathering to enjoy the beautiful weather and the delicious "walking tacos". Jennifer Day and Erika VanDervort did a great job of starting us out with some Country and Gospel Favorites. At Noon there was Classic Rock and Originals from Nate, Charlie, and Ira (thanks to everyone for your entries in the nameourband contest, we'll be posting the second round picks by Wednesday). Nate's hometown crowd showed their support as always (Thanks Y'all), and helped the band have a fun time as well.
Later, Bobby's Blue Grass Boys showed us what years of experience sounds like. These guys know their stuff !!! Finishing off the entertainment was Cattywampus playing a fusion of Celtic and Scottish, with American Roots. Wow, that was great everyone !!!
