07/07/10 Happy Independence Day!!!! We just got back from
a GREAT weekend in South Bend, Indiana where we played the St. Joseph County Fair. We took our trailer in and played a Friday and Saturday night concert, about 30 minutes before the rodeo. We pulled into the arena and
set up and played. When we were done, we had to break down FAST and get out of there. Each night it took us only
8 minutes to be out of the arena. We had a blast. Sunday
evening we did a concert from 8:30-10PM just before the fireworks. We had a great time doing air guitar contests, shooting
t-shirts into the crowd and playing some good, fun music. By the end of the concert we had about 2,500 folks there.

Tingle, and the gang at the fairgrounds. We look SO forward to working with you guys again. Casey

Hey guys, we just got back from a weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. We partnered with Dan Cowart of Fellowship Ministries for this race, and used his
big stage. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use it very much. Becuase of extreme weather, we were unable to perform
Friday night. After sitting around all day Saturday, we took the stage around 9PM, but were cut short due too an approaching
storm and lightning in the area. We were able to get in about an hour or so, before we were told to stop. We'll make
it up next time. Look forward to the next race. Blessings, Casey

our freedoms. Thanks to Terry Johnson and everyone at Show Of Support for allowing us to be part of this. Tuesday morning

while they go through this difficult time. Thanks to the folks at Medina for your hospitality and for all that you do. Blessings, Casey

We just finished our Fall Talladega race. We had a great weekend, despite many oppositions. On Friday while setting up, Leo bumped his head and had to
receive SIX staples. The only good thing about this was seeing his hair all messed up. Anyway, he did a good job
on Friday and made it through. More oppositioin on Friday
night/Saturday. RAIN!! Rain and red Alabama clay do not mix!! Also, Zach Brown had a halloween concert on the
infield (had over 15,000) and that took some of our campground crowd away. Oh well, we still had a blast!!! We have a few pictures up from the weekend on our picture page.
