HOOTIN' ANNIES UPDATE - OR ANNIE'S WHERE ART THOU?
Well, the Annies are getting into the spring weather - planting our gardens, tuning up the lawn mowers and looking forward to performing out and about. Here is a heads up about where we will be and hope to see you all there.
Saturday, April 18, we are performing at the Lions Howdy Neighbor Show In Pleasant Hill, Missouri. This is a fundraiser for their scholarship fund which has taken a hit in funding this year so we would love to see you all there for this good cause. Show starts at 6:45 p.m. at the Pleasant Hill High School Performing Arts Center, 1 Rooster Way. Advance tickets Adults $8, Children $4, available at Pleasant Hill Bank, both locations, Community of Pleasant Hill Bank and the Pleasant Hill Times or they can be purchased at the door. Come out and say Howdy!
Saturday, May 16 and Sunday 17, we are competing in the National Single Mic competition at Silver Dollar City in Branson. This should be a fun time with 20 groups competing so lots of good Bluegrass music at a really fun place. Come and cheer us on!
