Halfway To Hazard Raised Some BIG Bucks!

Posted by TawnyTucker on August 25th, 2009

H2H's David Tolliver, Tim McGraw, and H2H's Chad Warrix

 

Halfway to Hazard’s Annual Charity Trailride raised some big bucks this past weekend.  Nearly 25,000 country music fans flocked to the hills of eastern Kentucky, raising over $200,000 dollars for the Buckhorn Children’s and Family Center. 

Halfway to Hazard’s Chad Warrix says, “We were hoping to just double last year’s attendance of 7,500 and raise more than the $110,000. The fact we more than tripled attendance and doubled money raised this year is staggering! We applaud all the volunteers and artists for helping us in accomplishing and surpassing our goals.”

More than 1,000 people participated in the trailride this past weekend, including Nascar legend Kyle Petty.

Petty laughed while riding through the thick dust clouds kicked up by the ATVs, “This is just like when there’s a wreck on the racetrack. You just drive through the smoke and pray you make it safely to the other side.”

After the trailride, the fields were flooded with fans to watch Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley, Danielle Peck, Keith Anderson, Lee Brice, and Halfway to Hazard perform.

Country Girl will be talking with the guys later this week to discuss the secret to their successful fundraiser.

Darius Rucker Serves Up Tons of Fun at Camp

Posted by Country Girl on August 5th, 2009

Our favorite country music cross over and now permanent fixture, Darius Rucker stopped by Victory Junction on Monday. While at the camp Darius had just as much fun as the kids fishing, playing kick ball, and doing what he does best- singing!

The camp founded by Kyle and Pattie Petty in honor of their son Adam opened in 2004. The mission of the camp is to enrich the lives of children with chronic medical conditions.

Darius plans to return in November to hold a private concert to benefit Victory Junction on Kyle and Pattie’s farm in Trinity.

Dierks Bentley – I am a Fan!

Posted by Country Girl on October 6th, 2008

It is a good morning.  I have all but recovered from a hot and beautiful day of great country music. Dierks Bentley hosted his third annual Miles and Music for Kids Benefit for Monroe Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and it was amazing.

I started the day out at the Harley Davidson shop in Cool Springs where all of the motorcycle riders gathered to begin their ride down to Riverfront Park in Nashville. Before everyone got started we got to see a ton of country artists ride in on their motocycles while a few would stop for casual autographs and pictures with the fans who would be riding with them.

I was lucky enough to catch Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum riding in. He was VERY nice and stuck around for quite a few autographs and pictures with fans.

Yep, that’s me – all smiles and giggles. Hot, Hot, Hot!  Really, it was hot outside.  : )

Charles only sang one song when we got down to Riverfront Park.  I must say, I was a bit disapppoined.  It was not a Lady Antebellum song but I supposed I will take what I can get when the rest of the group isn’t there.  He sang Tom Petty’s “Last Dace with Mary Jane”.

Once everyone arrived at Harley Davidson, Dierks and the gang got up on stage to thank everyone for coming out to help raise money for Monroe Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

I must give it to this hunky country man.  He was up all night with his wife in labor and still came out to rock it with his fans. 

Here are a few pictures of the guys goofing off on stage.

Once we were given the “riding rules” for the day everyone got on their bikes and headed down to Nashville’s Riverfront Park where the real party got started.

There were so many people there to help support this great cause. People from all genres of music. Country, Christian, Race Car Drivers. You name it they were there.

Tim McGraw, John Rich, Charles Kelly, Jamey Johnson, Halfway to Hazard, the Warren Brothers, Kyle Petty, Stormy Warren who hosted the event, Troy Gentry was there but didn’t sing and kept pretty low key all day and music video producer Shawn Silva. There were a few others who performed but I am at a loss for who they were right now. I will update when my mind catches up with everything that happened yesterday.

The performances were awesome! John Rich just killed it! He was unbelievable. That man has every right to be cocky and arrogant. He rocks!

Tim McGraw should have performed longer, he only did three songs but they were amazing. There is nothing better that hearing a great artist like him perform acoustic.

I have a TON of picture to share with you from the day. Just visit our MySpace page at: www.myspace.com/countrymusictattletale to see them all.

If you were at the event email me at countrymusictattletale@yahoo.com and let me know what you thought!

I will definitely return next year and the year after that and the year after that! Dierks called it an institution last night so I am assuming that he plans to do this for many years to come!
