2. The Silver Dollar City KSMU Youth In Bluegrass Contest!
The Lane Family is excited to annouce......we've been accepted at the Silver Dollar City KSMU "Youth In Bluegrass Contest"!

Below is some info on a previous contest.


October 2nd, 2002 Silver Dollar City and KSMU Host Bluegrass Contest: Related Link: Silver Dollar CityListen
In support of young persons involved in Bluegrass music, Silver Dollar City and KSMU hosted the 1st annual Youth in Bluegrass Band Contest on September 28th and 29th. The competition was fierce those two days as 7 finalists did their best to impress the judges and the audience at the Branson theme park's Festival of American Music and Craftsmanship.
With word of the contest and it's first place prize money of $1,000.00 quickly spreading on the internet, in Bluegrass trade magazines, and on Bluegrass radio shows throughout the Midwest, there was no shortage of interest in the contest according to D.A. Callaway, the Entertainment and Events Supervisor at Sliver Dollar City. Callaway says Silver Dollar City has for a very long time been promoting and cheerleading for our Nations youth.
The Youth in Bluegrass Band Contest is open to bands whose members are under 21 years of age but if a parent or parents of band members are also part of the group, they too can participate. Indeed every finalist in this years contest was a true family band or had at least 2 siblings in it's group. D.A. Callaway says the family setting is where the youngsters learn to play and appreciate the music.

3. Hymn Story

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
(Hebrews 12:2)
In 1918, Helen Howarth Lemmel, the author and composer of this hymn, was given a tract by a missionary friend. As she read it, Helen's attention was focused on this line : "So then turn your eyes upon Him, look full into His face, and you will find that the things of earth will aquire a strange new dimness."
The verses were written in the same week.
Since that day, Helen Lemmel's hymn has been translated into many languages and used by God to challenge believers around the world with the necessity of living devoted lives for His glory.
