Well it has been a very busy summer with lots of new adventures. God has taught us much and allowed us to meet some wonderful people as well. We are very grateful.

With the new school year upon us, we are focusing on some things here on the home front and are not doing much in the way of music, (as far as scheduled concerts, etc.) however on Sept 24-26th we are involved in some Revival type meetings at:

John & Lydia Kauffman's

Boyceville Cucumber Festival

Here is a flyer but the info on the music is not accurate.

http://www.boycevillewi.com/images/Pickle-Fest-Poster-10.jpg OPEN MIC Noon-4pm The open mic time is open to all people who would like to share their musical and vocal talents with good and wholesome family music. It is not a talent show because there are no prizes or financial compensations for any of the participants, but merely a time when people can gather together for fun and fellowship. Anyone who is interested please feel free to contact Tim at (715) 505-7525. THE OTTERSON FAMILY Bluegrass Gospel Concert 5pm-6:30pm The Otterson family have lived in this area all their lives but has lived in rural Cofax now for the last 9 years. The parents, Mike and Jayne have been singing and playing for many years and their 7 children have naturally picked up the talents. At first they mainly played for their own enjoynent, but began to feel the talents God had gifted them with should be used for His glory. One of their first ministry opportunities was to play at the Barnabus Coffehouse in Chippewa Falls. They have been playing there about 4 years now. While some of their friends travel around ministering with their music, the Ottersons have chosen to minister mostly locally. The older 3 children have married, so the 4 younger ones sing and play with their parents now. Zach,19, plays percussion; Hannah,17, plays mandolin and sings;Levi,14, plays guitar, dobro, banjo, fiddle and also sings;Tabby, 11, plays fiddle and sings. Dad, Mike does lead vocals and plays gutar while Jayne joins in with the upright bass and vocals. Nikki Clark 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Living on a dairy farm in rural Wisconsin, Nikki Clark and her husband Nathan are proud parents of three wonderful young children: Jordan, Jessica, and Jonathan. Nikki Clark is a new Christian artist from Boyceville. She has been a singer, songwriter, and piano player for as long as she can remember. Her true mission is to write the kind of music that touches peoples hearts. The kind that helps them through tough times, makes their good days better and brings them to an intimate place to worship the King of Kings. Nikki and her husband will be there throughout the afternoon and evening to help minister to the needs of the community.

Boyceville Cucumber Festival.

Boyceville is having its annual Cucumber fest on August 21st. They are featuring music and our family band will sing at 5:00-6:30 pm. We will post more info as soon as we can. Hope to see you there.

I like him a lot. We have a lot of fun together. One time we shaved him, he was so soft. :)
