Senior Day & Veteran's Day

Ragtime Rick and the Chefs of Dixieland Band

10am - 12noon

Visit their website at:  http://www.chefsofdixieland.com/

Ragtime Rick and the Chefs of Dixieland is a 6-piece Traditional Jazz Band  "sure to make
you smile!"    Rick Grafing operated his own club,  Ragtime Rick's First Draught,  for over 22  years in Toledo,  Ohio.  

After the popular landmark closed in 2003,  he resumed a career as
a ragtime performer, playing at concert halls, private parties, corporate events, gatherings for various organizations,  and Senior Citizen Centers.

His son John Grafing, trumpet student at the University of Toledo,  and  Ben Herrick,  a UT
Graduate and trombone player, suggested that they form a "hot jazz band."  An ample supply of aprons and restaurant uniforms resulted in the Chefs of Dixieland. "Banjo Betsy " Grafing, Rick's wife, was the obvious "pick" for banjo player. Other band members include Jan Mudica on soprano sax (the Chefs refer to it as the "fish horn"), and Gene Giesige on string bass. Tad Dickerson, drummer, joins the Chefs when the full 7-piece band performs.


 New Outlook Blue Grass Band

1:30 - 4:30pm and 7pm - 9pm

Visit their website at:   http://newoutlookbluegrass.com/

Leading the group New Outlook is husband and wife team Lori Lyn and Brad Lambert.  Lori plays upright bass and contributes powerful lead and harmony vocals reminiscent of some of the greats she listened to as a child, Dolly Parton, Connie Smith, and more recently her good friend Dale Ann Bradley, are among the long list of favorite artists that influenced her soulful singing.

Brad brings to the band his own style of hard-driving banjo pickin' and lead harmony vocals and adding his talents on various other instruments as well.  His influences include Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, Jimmy Martin and the Stanley Brothers...the music his father turned him onto as a youngster.  Terry Baucom and Sammy Shelor top his list as most respected talents in the business today.  Lori & Brad also collaborate together by writing much of their material.  Currently they reside in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Additionally Merrell Boggs contributes lead & harmony vocals and Mike Adams contributes guitar and lead and harmony vocals.

8pm - 11pm  Polly Mae Band (Beer Tent)

So ya might be askin yourself....Who is Polly Mae? Chances are, the reason your here is cuz you've heard us or our music so let me tell ya a little story about ourselves and how Polly Mae came about.....(This is where we'd sit on the front porch and have a sweet tea or a cold beer)

First off, we're sisters....Jodi bein the oldest and Dale Ann bein the baby sis. We were raised most of our lives on and/or around our Grandparents 400 acre farm in Waynesfield, Ohio and to both, we owe a huge thank you for our raisin'....so we wanted to choose a name for our lil duo that encompassed our true roots and good ole country livin....so Polly Mae was the perfect choice!

We've been singin a long time from about the age of 3 years old. We grew up around country, blues and gospel music and we were raised in a very musical family. Being ten years apart gives us each a unique sound to our voices, one bein a lil rockin country and the other a soulful sound but the blend of our family harmonies makes us kinda...well guess you can judge that for yourself.....hope you like what ya hear!

Dont Be a Stranger!
Polly Mae
Jodi and Dale Ann
