[Rick Campbell]

That looks like a very good show with not only some of the best steel players, but some of the best country entertainers. I haven't been to a steel show in several years. This might be something to do a road trip for.

[Michael McGee]

My thanks to the SISGS for the invitation to be a part of your show. To Dennis, Mark, Dow, all the board members and volunteers, you hit a home run this year. It was a GREAT show due to your devotion and hard work. Through the efforts of this group and this show, $25k was raised for the Shriners Childrens Hospital. I am so thankful to be a small part of that.

[Gary Sill]

Great attendance, a variety of vendors and a great line up of artists on stage. The backup band did a wonderful job for all artists. A great facility for this show. Thank you for inviting me to perform. I am looking forward already to next year's show.

It was so nice to see old friends, make new friends, hear great music, honor Cord and help the Shriners all at the same time. Everyone mentions the great staff band, and well they should. And, the had work of all the staff was extremely evident. I’d like to give a shout out to Kevin, who worked tirelessly getting equipment on and off stage for the players. That’s hard work, folks! The show gets an A+ rating rating for sure.

[Michael McGee]

Any Pictures?

Larry, I don't know if you use facebook, but several people are posting both pictures and videos. Sorry you had to cancel.
