We hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend. We took the weekend off from singing so we could spend time with family at the lake. Mom cooked up a storm for around 25 family and friends running in and out of the cabin!! We all played games, went tubing and skiing in the boat, and ate and ate and ate! We watched the fireworks from the boat and beach as they reminded us of our freedom as a nation and how thankful we are for that.

We have had a long wonderful trip to Wilkesboro, NC to sing for the Ebeneezer Children’s Home, Singing in the Foothills. We took the long way there through the Smokies, faithfully following that little box thats suppose to help us. It’s times like these I want to throw the GPS out the window into the deep winding ravines we are passing!!!
The concert goers numbered over 3,000 even in the 90 plus temps. We shared the stage with The Hoppers, Pfiefers, Gold City, and Michael Combs!
Spent Saturday with Jess and Nick, sang to a full house Sunday night in Carthage, made a stop in Nashville, and now are headed home as fast as we can go! Don’t need the GPS little box for that!!!

The Browns have just been booked for a 10 day tour in Southern Manitoba, Canada March 25th through April 3rd, 2011.

We parked in front of our Shipshewana “home” late Sunday night and proceeded to unload the bus and make ourselves “at home” for 2 weeks of shows, fellowship, Blue Gate food, and loads of fun! Shipshe is one of our favorite places. The Browns take in all the sights and sounds of this quaint Amish town…horses and buggies…all the Riegsecker stores…the Mercantile Center…the Flea Market…the antique stores…wonderful people…and lots of Mel’s Old fashioned Cream Pie!!!! We love being in the theater for 2 straight weeks. Opening shows for Sandi Patti was a treat again this year. She is the real deal and so sweet to work with. We had lots of visitors and had many fellowship meals at the Blue Gate Restaurant. Our two weeks closed with Friday and Saturday concerts at the City Conference Center with The Collingsworth Family and Ernie Haase Signature Sound. If you need a break and would like to get away to a quiet peaceful retreat with a chance to see a great show follow The Browns to “Sweet Home Shipshewana”

We had a great weekend in Birmingham, AL singing with The Trammell’s and three other groups. Those Southern folks know how to make a group feel at home. We did our set and ended with a song that brought them to their feet. The emcee brought us back on stage for an encore and, as they say down south, the crowd was, “jumpin pews and throwing babies’! As we walked off stage the emcee said, “See, I told you that you’d like these Yankees!” Love that Southern Hospitality!
It was wonderful to sing with Jessica and Nick and spend a few days with them. Jessica’s boss took us out for a great meal and sang her praises to us. It is great to know she is working for a company owned by folks who are fun, wise, successful, and appreciate her so much! Nick is doing great in his classes and should complete his CPA degree in 2011. He has been so diligent and is getting great grades.
Our visits with The Trammell’s are usually short, but very sweet! Sweet Home Alabama!!!
