Heartland House Fundraiser

Thanks to everyone who came and played for the Heartland House benefit in Sioux Falls on Thursday April 7th. A great time was had by all playing for a great cause. Joel, thanks for providing sound.

The jam afterwards lasted until almost 11:30 that night. Thanks Ken, Ron, Hartley and Kathryn for some great music after the event. Thanks to the Downtown Hilton Garden Inn for letting us play after the event was over.

We have to do this more often, If only the drive home was not almost 2 hours it would make it easier.
