Sept. 8
Blackwood Legacy to perform
at Lovell Methodist Church
The Nashville-based
"Blackwood Legacy" con-
temporary southern gospel
group will be in concert on
Wednesday, Sept. 8, at 7
p.m., at the Lovell United
Methodist Church. Admis-
sion is free and a love offer-
ing will be received.
A popular touring
group, Blackwood Legacy is
led by Rick Price, a veteran
Southern Gospel entertain-
er with more than 30 years
in the industry, including
many years as the lead sing-
er for the Grammy and Dove
awarding-winning Black-
wood Brothers Quartet,
with whom he was inducted
into the Gospel Music Hall
of Fame.
Believing"the road to the
future is paved with memo-
ries of the past," and recog-
nizing the need to reach au-
diences of all ages, Price has
gathered some talented and
new artists to create a dy-
namic concert that features
the well-remembered old fa-
vorites such as Beulah Land
and How Great Thou Art, as
well as music made popular
by today's most recognized
worship artists. Included in
the talent lineup are Wash-
ington State natives Luke
and Jake Yates, worship
musicians and singers who
recently exploded on the
gospel music scene.
The Lovell United
Methodist Church is lo-
cated at 456 Shoshone. For

event call 307 548-7478,

Deaver Festival will be
packed to the brim with fun
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
While there are many
town celebrations in north
Big Horn County, a new
and unique celebration will
be held for the first time in
Deaver this year and prom-
ises to be one not to miss.
The Deaver Festival,
scheduled for Saturday,
Sept. 11, will be an all-day
event for all ages featuring
a variety of things to keep
everyone busy.
What kinds of things?
The festival will feature
live music all day on two
stages, children's art work-
shops, food vendors, craft
booths, children's sto-
ry time once an hour, a
farmer's market, yard sale
booths, cowboy poetry, a
recycled art contest, barn
dance, artwork and a 9/11
commemoration.
Entertainment will be
made up of local and re-
gional acts, including Home
Brewed, a reggae/jazz jam
band from Meeteetse, R&R
Mariachi of Billings, Deav-
er filddler Kelly Wells and
the Scandinavian Dancers
of Red Lodge.
Organizer Rose Wen-
strom said vendors, booth
operators and entertain-
ment acts have been en-
couraged to be interactive,
so many booths will feature
demonstrations or lessons
about their craft.
"Some booths are inter-
active and some are demon-
strating how to make what
they're selling," Wenstrom
said, mentioning a clay
artist and silversmith as
some of the demos planned.
"It's kind of like a creativ-
ity starter for people, kids
mostly."
Deaver Fest
Saturday, Sept. 11
8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Memorial Park
The first event of its
kind, Wenstrom said she
had a vision to make the
festival something that lo-
cal people could go to and
have a great and action-
packed day close to home,
noting that driving a half
hour away for an event gets
old after a while.
'Tith the closing of the
school, we're very aware
that there's nothing in town
for children or families,"
Wenstrom said. "I thought
having the festival could be
a way kick off new things
and bring new things into
town."
A portion of the festival
was paid for with a $2,500
grant from the Wyoming
Arts Council. With the 50-
50 match grant, organiz-
ers also put $2,500 toward
the fest, and the Town of
Deaver covered advertising
costs. Organizers raised
their portion of the match
from business sponsorships
and booth rentals.
The main stage located
near Memorial Park will
feature live bands while
stage two, located across
the park, will hold smaller
bands and other entertain-
ment. Entertainment will
stretch from 9:30 a.m. un-
til 9 p.m.
With some of the
booths spilling onto 1st Av-
enue West, the street will
be closed all day Saturday,
Wenstrom said. There will
be about 80 booths, she
said.
The Deaver Frannie
Fire Department will hold
a fundraiser lunch from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m.
On a serious note, a
brief 20-minute commemo-
ration will be held at 1 p.m.
in honor of people who lost
their lives in the Sept. 11,
2001, tragedies.
"It's a way to remember
the day and how it changed
our lives, and how we go
forward," Wenstrom said.
A bagpipe player will
play while an honor guard
performs the ceremony and
a group of local girls sings
the National Anthem.
Wenstrom said she is
still in need of volunteers.

slight increase from the 151 sold last
year.

push this year's sale total to
$193,214.50, which does not include
an additional $2,500 in add-ons to the
original sales.
Last year the sale brought in
$187,750. In 2008, buyers shelled out
a record $222,000 for 152 animals.
Averages dropped slightly this
year across the board.
