Where are we?  Oh yeah, Parham!  Kristin from the KIX 93.5 Lone Star Texas Grill Country Road Krew headed on out to Parham for their Parham Fair!  The rides, the games, and the fun were all back!  There were horse shows, live concerts, a cattle show, an all day volleyball tournament, an ATV Pull and more! They filled in their need for adrenaline at the demolition derby and lawn mower races!  They also saw some of country music’s hottest acts.

If you haven’t heard of this event, you obviously aren’t a country music fan!  The KIX 93.5 Lone Star Texas Grill Country Road Krew pulled on their cowboy boots and put on their hats for the 21st Annual Havelock Country Jamboree!  We were there to soak up all the action and fun for 4 days and 3 nights!  We were even privileged enough to host a private concert at our campsite with Codie Prevost!  Although it rained on Saturday night, that didn’t stop us from dancing!  We partied in the mud all night long and it was a riot!  We can’t wait for next year!  Yee Ha!!

Get out your paint brushes and art easels folks!  Kristin from the KIX 93.5 Lone Star Texas Grill Country Road Krew made her way down to City Park in Kingston for the Women’s Art Festival.  Every year this festival gets bigger and bigger! The number of artists who exhibit has grown from about 50 in the beginning to over 200 in 2008. About 1/3 of the exhibitors each year are new to the festival. Several artists have inspired their daughters and granddaughters to participate, resulting in multiple generations exhibiting together!
Artists donate 20% of their sales to the women’s organizations who have applied to the Festival for funding. In addition, they are invited to donate a piece of art to the silent auction. In the last 28 years, the Women’s Art Festival has donated over $75,000 to support women and children who live in Kingston and the surrounding area.  Needless to say, Kristin was both inspired and touched by these women and their amazing talents!
