Our days in Schuyler, NE for the Kenaston Music Show

 81 degrees on a delightful day in Clarinda, IA at 3:00 pm Saturday.  Dumped a bit under 4" of rain from the rain gauge yesterday that had accumulated from last Saturday morning.  I am now able to do this on the computer with super-fast WIFI.

Well, a change in plans--we left Schuyler, NE and the Music Show about 10:30 am Friday and got back to Clarinda about 3:30 in the afternoon.  Missed both Friday and Saturday of the show, but was necessary.

Here are a few pictures from Tuesday evening when we listened to the Kenaston's, Johnny Button, Venessa Kenaston, Epi Martinez, & Willie play music while eating supper at the Schuyler Golf Club.  

 

Good food, visited with many new (to us) people at our table, and good music for the evening.

Wednesday Phyllis helped set up some of the items for the $5 ticket-drawing table, the auction items and the silent auction items.  Then she sold 50/50 tickets until they drew for them around 4 pm.

This fella at left is from Louisiana and talked with such a drawl he was a little hard to understand.  He did "cajon" singing with a lot of hollering in it.

This is Dale Anchor

who is on KWMT as a

DJ much of the time out of

Fort Dodge, IA.  His wife

came from Clarinda and

Phyllis has gotten acquainted

with both of them over the

years at many music festivals.

At right is table with

items that were auctioned

off.  Many baskets with

wine, food, etc. in them

The Auto-Harp at the

bottom brought several

hundred dollars.

Wednesday afternoon.

Wednesday evening we went downtown

to the Eagles Club.  They prepared

either hamburgers or cheese burgers

and had probably 20 salads

of all sorts that were all homemade

and delicious.  You could take a dip of

two when going through the line the

first time, but then they opened it up

and since I like salads I had a taste of

about six different ones, all in one bowl.

This couple came from Ottumwa, IA and were in a motor home next to our trailer.  Mary and Gene Scott.

In line

to get our meal.  $7 for

the hamburger and

lots of good salads, everything

from coleslaw, macaroni salad,

fruit salad, watermelon chunks,

Taco Salad, potato salad, flavored whipped-cream

with fruit in it, and a lot more.

My Taco Salad and Macaroni Salad with hamburger.

Kathy Fleming at left.  She was singing with Rayne McGill, but I didn't get a picture of Rayne that night.

Thursday they

had a Farmers

Market on the same area

as the outdoor stage.  Was

mostly crafts and

baked goods this time

of year before the veggies start

maturing.

They had an outdoor stage

that had entertainers part

of the time.

At right

and below is

Molly Magill, daughter

of Mary Channer Paul

who she sings with quite

often.  This evening

she was dancing with

her oldest daughter Jayden..

I hadn't heard of this

Steel Guitarist Jim Loessberg,

but he is a fantastic

steel guitar player.

Was concerned if the flooding on the Missouri

River had closed any roads near Nebraska City.  There was water in the low area on the east side of the Missouri River, but not near Highway 2.

Till next time,
