Those of us who know Peggy Woodall are, indeed, fortunate. I have described her to many as "The Hostess With the Mostest!" Peggy is tireless when it comes to making her friends feel comfortable whenever they visit her campsite and I'm sure it's that way at home, too. She is a whirlwind around the campsite and will not rest until everyone has been offered what ever she has.
Peggy is a most sincere Bluegrass music fan. If there's no jamming going on at her campsite she will range far and wide to gather pickers and singers back to her camp. She and her husband, Jack, share this love of the music. Jack is an instrument buyer and trader and Peggy is right there by his side offering advice and help. They are a team and she is Jack's right hand woman! Those of us close to Peggy all love her. But, alas, Peggy has suffered some medical complications in her life and the expenses have been great. She needs our help!
Therefore, there will be a special Bluegrass Benefit Show for Peggy this coming September 24th, 2011, at the Amelia Family Campground. The show will start at 2PM and run until 9PM, but if I know Peggy and her friends, there'll be jamming on late into the night. Home made bean soup and hot dogs will be available for a donation. There'll be a 50/50 drawing and everyone is asked to bring home made desserts such as cakes and pies. Bring whatever your specialty is and it will be offered for auction to help raise cash for Peggy.
Don't forget to bring your lawn chairs and your instruments, too;you never know! ;~}). Besides the items to be auctioned, please bring a side dish to go along with the soup and hot dogs. We're family, so let's all pitch in and help. Hey! There's gonna be bands playing the entire afternoon and evening. Bands who have donated their time are: Donnie Mason & In The Tradition; Billie Sue & Mill Run; Eddie Gill & The Grassmasters, The Willis River Band, plus Code Blue.
The Hutchinson Family welcomes campers by offering hook-ups at $15 per night. Special thanks are offered to George Thomas for providing sound for the event and to the J. B. Hutchinson Family for allowing the use of the pavilion and the campground for this very special benefit.
If more information is needed please call Mary or Charlie Morgan at; 804-598-5262 or J. B. Hutchinson at: 804-561-3011. Don't forget to bring lots of cash with you to the benefit and let's have fun supporting one of the finest ladies anyone is ever likely to meet, Peggy Woodall. I would like to offer one more note of thanks; Donna Trent has acted as the voice for Peggy & Jack throughout this very trying time in their lives and we all owe her a special thanks for being there for us, too. Thank you, Donna!
And, may I ask one more thing of you? Please keep Peggy and Jack in your prayers.
"NUFF SAID!"
