Once again, Central Park in Marion was filled with over 3,000 people for our 11th annual Chingawassa Days festival on Friday and Saturday. The hightlight of this year's festival was the classic rock band Grand Funk Railroad (remember "We're An American Band, "Some Kind Of Wonderful", "Locomotion"????). The weather held, the crowd was one of the biggest ever, and the band was great. Each year, we continue to have big name acts come to our little town (3 Dog Night, Guess Who, 38 Special, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Trick Pony, Restless Heart, Little Texas, Kentucky Headhunters, Little River band to name a few), and they without exception comment on how great a time they had playing in our park.Can't wait to see who they get for next year!! Mark it on your calendars, the first Saturday in June 2009, Central Park, Marion, Kansas. Don't miss it!!

Sounds fun, Kevin. Sure beats the Flaming Lips and Buckethead that was at the Wakarusa (Hippie Fest) that I worked near Lawrence. What can you expect from KU-ville, huh? Wow, you guys also cleaned up on the fishing recently too (Except for Mike & Zach - bummer.) Hey, speaking of bands, you might want to check out the teen concert our church is sponsoring at the Lake on July 26. There will be 3 bands (Downhere, Sonlit, and the Butler Brothers). Check out the website at www.escapeconcert.com. It'll be free and should be great! I can send you some posters to put up around Marion if you want. If you could pass the news on to other Marion Churches, that'd be great. Thanks.

Sure, send some posters this way. If you see Rod in the next few weeks, just give them to him.
