A concert! In Akron??

The kids loved the parade.

Hoss Howard

This week was Akron's fair and parade!
The whole town was abuzz with excitement. This year was the first year that we've ever had a big name come for a concert. Jer and I were excited with the rest of em'. We paid a whopping 20 bucks each to get reserved seating right in the middle closest seating to the stage. Yeah Right! We went to sit down and we found out that we were right in the middle on the ground. All the standing room only people were right in front of us and I couldn't see a thing sitting down. Of course we stood the whole time. That was just fine cause we still had a great view!
Hoss Howard and his band opened up for Joe Diffie!!! We didn't know who Hoss Howard was but he wasn't half bad. He reminded me of Toby Kieth a little. We sure got a kick out of his older long haired band member who kept flipping his hair all over. He was hilarious!!
Joe Diffie got on stage and the crowd went crazy. Even all the sweet old folks in town too! We needed to sell $500 dollars worth in tickets just to break even and we sold around $900! That great because it means they'll ask someone else to come next year. Joe said he just did a concert in Ohio and thought man that's gonna be a short drive. Ha ha! He didn't even know there WAS an Akron, Colorado. He was very down to earth. Jer and I had a blast just being together without the kids. Its been a while.
