Come out this Saturday and help Common Ground, and co-sponsor The Double Y Saddle Club, provide assistance to those who were ravaged by the June 2008 flood that destroyed so much of Central Indiana. This kind of stuff is what makes bluegrass what it is. People should always offer a helping hand to their neighbors when they are in need. That’s what this years Double Y Saddle Club/Common Ground Bluegrass Festival is all about. The Double Y Saddle Club and all of the performing bands have agreed to donate 100% of this years festival proceeds to assist the flood area. This year every penny of your money will be going to the Columbus Love Chapel and the Edinburgh Cheer Fund for local flood victims. There are no administrative fees or anything going to anyone at all except flood victims. Every single penny of your money will be going to the people who need it. Canned food and monetary donations will be accepted also.
The outpouring of support for this thing has been incredible. The number of individuals, businesses, and organizations who have given donations for door prizes, and various contributions is almost too numerous to mention, but they deserve a big hand. We will provide a detailed list of those who have helped us make this benefit possible at the festival and on the Common Ground website. Be sure to frequent these establishments, and let these individuals, businesses, and organizations know that you appreciate their generous contributions. We appreciate those folks so much.
The number of broadcast media outlets that have provided coverage for the event is unreal. Thursday morning I was privileged to be able to talk about the event a little bit on KORN Country 100.3, and QMIX 107.3, both stations located in Columbus, Indiana. We have also received news and public service report coverage on WKKG 101.5 in Columbus, Indiana, WHAS AM 840 in Louisville, Kentucky, WLW AM 700 in Cincinnati, Ohio, WRBI 103.9 in Batesville, Indiana, WJCP 97 in North Vernon, Indiana, WMPI 105.3 in Scottsburg, Indiana, and WSCH/WXCH in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Our hats go off to those broadcasters who have helped us promote this event.
This will be a great weekend folks. Please come out and help us make this benefit a success. All the details are included below.
