Hi everyone this is part of the email I got from Larry Wilder (below)
boy they are going on a great tour after us. The others playing in Sept are great. Kerry was with us last year; he is from
New Orleans and is on tour so stopping to see us. The Booher family as some changes due to moves and jobs so we are getting
the next generation, wow we will enjoy them so much I am sure. Up River Boys and Slow Ponies were with us last year and put
on a heck of show. Hope to see you all in Sept.
FROM LARRY
I do Americana tunes across the board.
You could say: "Americana blend of cowboy, folk, bluegrass
and roots country songs for the whole family."
I will involve the folks w/ some community singing too.
If there are kids there, we can do a couple of tunes especially for
them too.
One week after the Opry show, I will take my band, the Stumptown Stars,
to Europe to play shows in Berlin and Tuscany.
More on our opry gang. The opry band is working hard on their CD and plan to
have it out soon, Also Alan and Frank will have one soon so check with us out
front to see if we have them yet.
Our guy Anthony (Tony) Cooper who
has helped do almost anything for the last 5 years including coming over on Friday to help set stage and lighting is graduating from Willamette High School on June 11th
we wish to congratulate him. He says if he is not out of area for college he still plans on coming and helping us.
Thanks Tony for all your weeks and years of help.

having their 25th wedding anniversary the 8th of June so very busy week for the Coopers.

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

Hi, We are very proud to tell you we are in the Eugene Magazine page 22 in the winter 2008-09 issue. This
is a great magazine telling what is going on around town and we got to be part of it. Here is just a little of what
they say. Thanks guys...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.
