Sep. 15, 2009 Richland Crumley UMC hosted their Southern Gospel Music Festival on Saturday. It was free and every bit as good as advertised.
The weather was perfect and the bands entertained continuously from 11am to 5pm.
The musicians came from as far as Newport TN and as close as Spring Valley.
The overflow parking was accommodated in a field several hundred feet down the road- but no long walk - golf carts carried guests back and forth.
It was quite impressive how well organized the event was.
But the diadem of the day was the serving of free refreshments and a free lunch to everyone. The men were grilling; the women were serving hamburgers, sausage sandwiches, chips, drinks - all for free!
Is that radical hospitality ?????
They also provided several games, face painting and the like.
We captured several photos of the event and posted them in our website Photo Gallery. Click Here to view.
If they made any money, over and above contributions, it would be the silent auction. There were a dozen or so baskets chocked full of goodies which we presume were donated.
All in all, a great day for seeing friends and enjoying a good old country music festival.
Way to go- Richland!!
