County Fair 2011!

 Okay sooo....yeah so if you haven't noticed I've been gone a long time with just everyday summer activities and then of course our awesome trip to Florida beginning of August! I am getting ready to start school this Tuesday and I am actually really excited! LOL ;-)
  So I have toooons of stuff to tell you guys about and pictures to show you so I am going to just post about one thing at a time. haha!
  So here are the pics of the country fair 2011!.....

 I have no idea who these people are but this little girl wanted to get close sooo bad so her dad brought her up and...well I just thought it was an adorable picture!

 These are pics of Diamond Rio

 Harley, Abby, and I just having fun!

 Okay I am going to do a review on my experience with seeing Lee Brice in concert AND meeting with him backstage:

First off I am not a crazed fan of Lee Brice; I really like his song Love Like Crazy and a few others but not like I would do anything to meet him and see him in concert though I knew it would be enjoyable.

 So before the concert actually started and they were setting up this guy in the picture below was just sitting in the "audience chairs" lookin at the stage and he loved it when Harley, Abby, several others friends, and I said hi and just started introducing ourselves and asking him about his music and the band etc. (Okay so right there is a thumbs up for the ability to bring yourself "low enough" to talk to "regular" people. LOL

 Well, as the night went on and the meet and greet was about to start we got to "meet and greet" him and just hang out for a few minutes, ask questions, get things signed, etc. He (Lee Brice) was very nice, personable, and just down to earth.

 Harley had  guitar he wanted signed and Lee was asking some questions that neither of them knew the answer to so he invited Harley to go with him into his bus and ask his "guitar man" some things about his guitar and then he gave him an autographed portrait too. 

 The concert was amazing of course! He loves his fans and you can tell that he knows that he would not be where he is if it weren't for those loyal fans that are always there to listen to him play. 

And last but not least, after his concert Ronnie Milsap was gonna perform for at least an hour so the band picked up and got into some comfy clothes and then went and sat with the rest of the audience for Ronnie's concert! I thought it was really neat because he acted just like a normal person...like all of them should. I have to say also that after seeing Billy Currington in concert (which I was sorely disappointed in) I was expecting the same thing and I was extra critical but Lee Brice and his whole entire band did a wonderful job at just remembering that they are normal people with an awesome job!!

 So yeah thought I would share that!!

 Also Ronnie Milsap was really great and I actually got to personally talk to him for about 25 minutes before his concert and it's really neat to see how he related to me and he had no idea what I looked like, how old I was nothing and besides listening to his engaging story of how he got his start he also offered a lot of encouragement to me as a musician as well!

 So there you have it; Country Fair 2011! 

 Our vacation to Florida coming up next!
