A BIG “Thank You!” to everyone who came to my 3-man show in Wilmington, IL.! We had the best time & were so taken aback by the friends who drove from so far away. Some came 312 miles… one way! Our host, Sharon Willson was so gracious & accommodating.

Today is the opening of the Gospel Fest at Silver Dollar City & it will go until September 7th. Don’t forget, I WON’T be at Silver Dollar City this coming Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday. Shepherd of the Hills will be closed on Sunday.

Tuesday, September the 1st I’ll be ‘Barney Fife’ at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. from 8 AM until 5:30 PM for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Come over & say “Hey” & help Jerry’s kids.

Happy 14th Birthday Evan James Sanders!

Happy 14th Birthday Evan James Sanders! Yes, our youngest son is now 14 & we couldn’t be prouder! We went out for his special dinner last Thursday to the Outback Restaurant here in Branson & had a wonderful meal/time with family & friends. Evan makes being a father/parent easy. I love you, love you love you! I’ll miss you while I’m in IL. but, your always in my heart & prayers. Always, Dad

I’m on my way to Wilmington, IL. for the BIG show tomorrow… ‘Homer Lee & Friends Present Australia’s Wayne Horsburgh’s farewell Tour’ at the Wilmington high school! So many friends are coming to see the show, even from MI., MN. & WIS..

This being said & done, it means that I WON’T be at Silver Dollar City or the Shepherd of the Hills play today or tomorrow (August 22nd & 23rd).

Thursday was so much fun playing ‘Barney Fife’ at Rocky’s Italian Restaurant! It was my 4th year to be there to help raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We had a lot of folks come in & they raised a tremendous amount of money. Thanks to everyone who was there & for those who reached deep into their pockets to ‘bail-out’ their locked-up friends. I’ll be at the Bas Pro Shop in Springfield, MO. on September 1st doing the same thing from 8 AM until 5 PM.

I’ll be back in Branson Monday night in time to be in the Shepherd of the Hills play!

Thanks to all of you for your love & support, it truly means the world to me!

Well, we’re almost 2/3s the way through August friends! Please double check my ‘Personal Appearances’ link. This month & September have some changes & new dates listed.

We didn’t break our established ‘Most tops spinning record’ at Silver Dollar City last Saturday, but next year for sure!

This Thursday, August 20th I’ll be ‘Barney Fife’ at Rocky’s Italian Restaurant from 8 AM until 5 PM so come on down for some wonderful food & watch us raise money for Jerry’s Kids AKA MDA!

Also, I’ll NOT be at Silver Dollar City on Thursday because of this event. This coming Saturday the 22nd & Sunday the 23rd I WON’T be at Silver Dollar City because I’ll be doing my 3-man show in Wilmington IL.! That show time is Sunday, August 23rd at 2 PM. That means I Won’t be in The Shepherd of the Hills play on the 22nd & 23rd either.

Thanks for keeping up with me. And join me in praying for those who are in need & hurting right now. God bless you all & God bless America!
