Wow! What a weekend! Before I begin, I have to put out there that all of everyone's thoughts and well wishes from everyone at the Hootenanny go out to Eric Smith, Chuck Richardson, and Max Joeseph. You gentlemen, were all greatly missed this weekend. Get well soon! On a better note, a great weekend was had by all in attendance! So many thank yous to put out. Thank you to Wattsburg Fairgrounds for the opportunity to have our event every year! Thank you to the bands and the hard work you put into selling the pre-sale tickets. The vendors for working with me this entire year, and helping to advertise. Matt Copeland for...being Matt Copeland. The entire Hootenanny staff, the gate people, the stage people, our custodian, Lou Thompson, for being my right-hand man and helping with the vendors, Holly Miller, being the clutch MVP at the door when we needed you. Steve Crowl and Dreadman making sure things run smoothly. The Hootenanny Comitee for helping me with those really tough decisions. My family for allowing me to continue to do this crazy stuff that I love so much, and finally, to the friends and fans that come out to see the amazing bands, we love you dearly. Ultimately, we fell short of our goal, but we still made $1,076 for Veterans Miracle Center Erie. I vow for this to be the charity again next year to raise even more money for our veterans. Thank you all, and see you at The Hootenanny 2027!
