The Owsley County Fair & Old Town Grill 9/11 and 9/12
The annual fair is held in Owsley County around the first to
second week of September. It is a weeklong event including contests at the
schools, rides, talent shows, and a community night. I performed on the fair grounds
on Community Night, September 11th. Keep reading for the details of
the show!
Community Night is a wonderful thing at the fair.
Businesses, non-profits, and school related booths, set up tables on the fair
grounds and have door prize entries and freebies for their customers. I sang
with my friend, Dustin Wilson, from 6:00-7:30 while the citizens of Booneville
made their way around, table to table, to enter for the door prizes and collect
their free pens and goodies.
Our set included a few duets, harmonies, and solo songs. We
even tried a new song we had never sung before and it turned out great! People
were requesting lots of songs, so of course; we tried our best to fulfill their
wishes. A lot of people in our hometown
really enjoy country music, so songs like “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “It’s Your
Love” were crowd favorites. Although, this audience member was a huge fan of "Girl Crush." Thanks, Jennifer. :)
The next day, September 12th, I was scheduled to
sing again at Old Town Grill. We made our way up to London, set up our
equipment and I began singing.
For anyone who remembers this night, it was
absolutely freezing. The stage is set up on an outside patio, so I had to sit
outside. At first, there were several loyal listeners that stayed outside to
listen for about an hour. After that, they confessed they were just too cold to
stay out anymore and returned inside. Although I was scheduled from 7-10,
myself, along with the management, decided that it would be best to shut down
the outside activities around 8:30. We
grabbed a bite to eat and headed home with the heat cranked up all the way!
