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"! We are very excited about this event and have been spending our evenings "pickin' & grinnin'..." so we'll be ready. Of course, while we are in Branson and Silver Dollar City, we fully intend to have a GREAT time enjoying the festivities.
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.

Hymn Story
HOW GREAT THOU ART! (Psalm 145:2, 3)
The original text was written by a Swedish pastor, Carl Boberg, in 1886.
While visiting a beautiful country estate, Boberg was caught in a sudden thunderstorm. The awesome and violent lightning and thunder quickly ended, leaving clear brilliant sunshine and the calm, sweet singing of the birds in the trees. Falling on his knees in awe and adoration of Almighty God, the pastor wrote nine stanzas of praise. Swedish congregations began to sing his lines to one of their old folk tunes.
For Today: Deuteronomy 3:24; Psalm 48:1; Isaiah 40:26, 28; Romans 1:20
Take time to think once again about the unfathomable greatness of God and His wonderful redeeming love for each of us.
