We were all grateful to our wonderful Mother who had us shower the day before, when we arrived at Mickey’s Mountain Bluegrass festival to find that we had no water and no way to fill up, no electricity (due to a power outage in the park) and worst of all… no air conditionaing! I (Meghan) was now getting a taste of what life was like before the amazing invention of air conditining and it wasn’t cool. Despite all that, though, we had a wonderful time at the festival.

We were there because of referrals sent by a few couples who had seen our show in South Texas last winter and wanted us to come and play in their area. We’re glad they did! Everyone was so kind. We were given cookies, provided with water and had our own personal little roadie. Nine year old Katy helped us with everything literally everything. When we were carrying equipment to the stage, when we needed help at the CD table etc… She was a joy.

On our second and last day at the festival, Katy and her older brother, Brennan, surprised us by writing "Redhead Express" on a piece of wood, using rocks. What a good memory to leave Mickey’s Mountain Bluegrass Festival with!
