A Sweltering Summer Serenade

It's fair time folks! It wouldn't quite be an Iowa summer without that fun in the sun at the fair.

The Bremer Co. Fair

Our very shy secret admirer

Karen - fiddling a fast n' fancy (but not quite memorized) hoedown

Picnic with grandparents! - the best sort of refreshment.

We're Still Alive!

We had a great time giving a concert for the wonderful people at Sand Lake Christian Missionary Alliance Church way up in Spring Lake, Minnesota!

They have some beautiful country, but a lot of mosquitoes. Some of us got more than our share of bites! :(

Singing "Look'in for a City" - The banjo is a fun addition to this one.

At the Butler County fair...

As always, we had a great time playing at Cottage Community Church!

Getting the sound system working is an interesting job sometimes.

Spring Valley Drive-in Outdoor Service

We had a great time in Illinois! Even though it was extremely "buggy" and sprinkled a few times, we enjoyed seeing the old cars and eating "Sunday Night Sundaes" after the concert.

This is part of the field where the people parked for the concert.

Looking at the classy old cars...

We'd love to see you at one of our concerts!

Some people sat in their cars to listen, while others sat in lawn chairs up in front.

The people in the cars used their horns instead of clapping! It was neat to hear the old horns.

The owner of one of the old cars told us we could take a picture in his car!

First Presbyterian Church

What a beautiful day to serve the LORD!

Setting up...
Abigail playing "Majesty"

We're on our way to our next concert after a great meal.

An evening at the What Cheer Opera House

With four groups performing that evening during the 3 hour concert, the stage was a maze of cords, microphones, equipment, and performers.

Trying out the fire escape...

The beautiful 3rd floor...

Isn't this a great stairway?

The world's tallest, skinniest door, officially documented in the Guinness Book of Word Records!

See you next time!

The Ackley Band Shell

Surviving the heat at this program was a challenge with the temperature hovering between 99 and 100 degrees!!! Ice cream after the performance was a welcome treat.

Adjusting the microphone...

Tuning and warming up
