About Us
From The Heart
|
A Memorial is held once a year
in memory of country musician, Larry Dee. For one day in August he will
be remembered by hundreds of people at the home of Paul & Charlene
Wasson, when they stage their annual Musician's Corn Roast. The event started
twenty years ago with about 40 to 50 people and today hundreds come through
the gate. A modest admission is charged and all proceeds from the day's
event go to a local charity. What once started out as a party,
has now grown to quite a large event. Professional entertainers are brought
in to headline the day's festivities, and there's a jam session for everybody
else who wants to play. A large trailer was donated by Roadrunners
to use as a stage. Folks bring their lawn chairs and coolers and sit around
enjoying the music. The event has a lot to offer everyone. There are displays
set up and games for the children and adults. We also have the BEST corn
anyone could ever want. You are invited! Join us and be a part of this
great day.
