Grass Notes at Bluegrass Day

Chrystal Opry House announced February Bluegrass Event

“Bluegrass Day” this month is February 1st. A bluegrass jam begins at 5 pm. Donations will be accepted to defray expenses. For those staying for the show, we have scheduled an open mic at 6:30 pm.  It is a good opportunity to get some stage experience.  Our regular show will then begin at 7 pm.  Let’s try a new policy, bring 10 paying guests (at regular price) to one of our first Saturday bluegrass shows, and you will be admitted free.

Grass Notes from the Collinsville area is our band for the evening. Members include Johnnie Luckie, fiddle, Larry Shoemaker, banjo, vocals, Jerry Shoemaker, bass, Walter McElheney, mandolin and vocals, Kristie McElheney, vocals and guitar, along with their daughter, Rebecca, vocals. This mostly family group does a great job and we’re happy to have them kick off our year.

Because of the ice storm the first of December, we didn't get to donate to the Meals on Wheels program. We will have a special event for just that purpose a bit later in the year.

The concession area will be open at 6 pm, with brisket sandwiches and hot dogs as well as coffee, soda, water, popcorn, and candy.

The Chrystal Opry House is located at 1977 White Mound Road, Sherman, Texas which is 1.5 miles west of Tom Bean or 6 miles east of Howe on FM 902 and a half mile south on White Mound Road. No alcohol is permitted and there is no smoking inside the building. Seating is provided. Persons interested in performing at the Chrystal Opry House should contact Bill Hayes at 903-546-6893 or http://www.chrystalopryhouse.com.
