America's Only Rural-Roots Country Music Festival Braces for Record International Crowd
LeMars, Iowa.....LeMars, Iowa, is the home of Blue Bunny Ice Cream, the largest manufacturer of ice cream in the world. It's also a north-east Iowa rural area surrounded by corn fields. According to Sheila Everhart, Director of the upcoming 34th Annual old-time rural roots music festival, "We're expecting the largest influx of foreign performers,and guests, from foreign countries at record breaking numbers this year. We're definitely not the Olympics, but we are just as concerned with our traditions and our cultural heritage as the Chinese are. Now we begin the process of proving the validity of Iowa's traditional music. Bob (my husband) and I went to China to perform in Bejing five years ago, and my how it has changed.

LOCAL COUNTRY ARTISTS HOOK-UP WITH CRACKERBARREL RESTAURANTS
We announced last year, that the NTCMA and the Oak Tree Opry will provide talent for a promotion at the Crackerbarrel Restaurant in Council Bluffs, Iowa. We are holding the date of July 18th for this year's program. We hope to be able to get a foot in the door, by providing local and regional recording artists an opportunity to have their product for sale in the Crackerbarrel Store. If it works for us on July 18, we hope it will not only work well at other locations, but that good local acts will be able to get their product in the store as well.
