Heritage Day

Congratulations, cyrus..being an entertainer certainly requires dedication and tenacity...and I wish you the best of luck!

You touched the heart of a County Music Lover here...I love both the modern & classical country...but, of course, you touched a nerve with Patsy Cline..and "I Fall to Pieces," and I wished I was able to hear you sing it!

When you referred to Jasper & Heritage days..is that Jasper, Alberta? And if so, seeings you are close, did you ever perform at Merritt Mtn. Music Festival? I worked there, in Admin, for 9 years...from 1990 in Hedley to 1999 in Merritt? And I spent many years in Promotion at CJVI in Victoria, and one of my greatest possessions is a picture with Hank Snow in his last live performance! Lots of others like Statler Bros.,Charlie Pride, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, etc., but Hank Snow means the most!

I read your post on Michael Martin Murphy, love him too...but truly am an Alan Jackson, Johnny Reed and Terri Clark fan! And I think my most favourite song in the world is "It's Such a Pretty Day, today!" And truly, each day is! Cheers!

We have had a May Day, or All School's Day celebration in May for over 100 years. It is to celebrate the school graduates of all level, pre school and up, in all the communities around. It sounds like you had fun, I used to take my daughter to "twirl" in winter parades, but as you say, it is very cold, sometimes. I hope Jasper keeps up with this, it seems it will bring funds to the community. We sell buttons yearly to help fund the event. There is a contest to design the button once the theme is announced.

SOunds like ya had fun even tho it was cold.
and I cant pick I like every song ya sang.
We have NEvada day here . Nope I dont get into it might see a concert or something like that but I dont preform .

HI Kathy: Wow! I didn't realize you were so multi-talented there woman (G)!!

Bravo to you, I could never ever get up in front of a crowd and sing like that, no
way!!

I liked all the songs you sang not sure I could name a favorite one there;
did anyone take a video of you singing??

Are you up on YOU TUBE or something?

Congrats again!!!

We don't have anything like that here in my hum-drum town we have a few crafts and
festivals but I've not been to any for years not really since the car accident
I just don't feel up to it and standing around is a killer for me pain wise;

WE've had so much cool rainy dreary weather but today the sun is out its supposed
to get up to 70 today and maybe 71 tomorrow before the next round of rainy weather
comes back speaking of which I need to finish up outside today, gotta get the rest
of my flowers done up, and tore down things put away in storage until spring...(sigh)!!

I'm gonna miss my beautiful flowers...
{{take care now}}

Love & hugs to ya!!

I would have loved to have heard u sing, Kathy, Country music is my fave. I love the song ONE DAY AT A TIME, I LOVE GOOD GOSPEL MUSIC TO. I guess I fall to pieces WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FAVE ALTHO I LIKE THEM ALL. We do have what is called the soy bean festival here & they have a big turn out for it. I never go . I hated it when i had my store downtown because they closed the street & killed all the buisness downtown. They have live entertainment every night, a carnival etc. I'm not able to go & walk around much so i don't go.

hi cyrus I read how cold it was in Jaspar, and was thinking wow he must be in Wyoming then I looked at your profile,Alabama,I did not know it got that cold there but then I live way over here onthe west coast in Ca. We don't really have a heritage day in most of the towns around me, we have the Strawberry Festival in Garden Grove where i am now, in Costa Mesa every year is the Fish fry and the County Fair. wish we did have a Heritage day, that would be so great. we do have booths and stuff like you mentioned during the Orange County Fair.I have never participated myself but my hubby cooked in the cookhouse cafe there for several Fair seasons. we got to eat free as he was one of their cooks., the food was really good too. We have oodles of different displays too at the County Fair, it goes on for a whole month in July. more fun but since I have become disabled its to hard for me to manage. I do miss that. I loved the Horticulture building where we won second prize for best natural garden display. it is a great building, then there was the new products building, arts and crafts building, photography and painting building just to mention a few.

yeah,if I got a Heritage Day I will very happy about that,you know,I like challege everything....I never been Heritage Day before so I like to hear about this kind of information,your town is cold right?I living in LA,here is cool and warm,you know,anyway I jealousy your life!

we dont have a Heritage day here --and if we did I dont remember having one.

we have a ton of festivals all summer long and into the fall time, but it has been forever since we have been to one ourselves...with money being tight and my hubbys work schedule we spend most of the time at home when he isnt working since he is gone all week and we have people over on the weekends lately.

I would love to go to the festivals...maybe next year we will be able to start going to them again.... sorry yours was so cold but glad that you had a good turn out and that you got to sing!!

I would have to say my fav song probably would have been "Grandpa, tell me bout the good old days".... I always did like that song.

I hope you have more of them and that you get to sing again next year!!

Happy mylotting.
