Oct 2009

Hi, At the board meeting Monday night we read all the suggestions. Some we had already on schedule. Johnny the drummer has a set in January, Red Wing will be soon, we book groups no closer than 6 months apart as feel that gives more variety. Someone asked for Frank to do Dwayne Eddy song he said that is Alan’s so sure you will be hearing some soon. Any time you want to put a suggestion in the box we do read them and try to work it out.

If any of you have or know of a business that would hang up one of our posters please get one from Joyce. We can use any word of mouth to help us help the school by getting more fans here.

Our thanks to all the great fans.The Emerald Valley Opry Board

For more that four years, the nonprofit Emerald Valley Opry has staged monthly shindigs showcasting the many varied strains of country music. Most EVO performers are local folks, but the Opry also draws from across the western states. A night at the Opry tends to reflect the organizers'unabashed celcbration of friendship, family and the joys of traditional American music.And almost always, Opry music is dished up hot and sweet.
