This past weekend I was lucky enough to participate in the Trail Mix Concerts as part of the Artosphere music and arts celebration sponsored by the Walton Arts Center and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Saturday I was on the Trail in Fayetteville and Sunday in Bentonville at Crystal Bridges.
It was hot but the energy of the fantastic crowd really heated things up and I had a memorable weekend. Interacting with the crowd and the kids (of all ages) made the time fly along with my fingers. Both days were just too short and they had to pull me off the trails. This weekend was just another reminder of why I love the beautiful area that we live in—the wonderful people and the groups that are committed to arts and music in the community.
Here I am on the Trail getting ready to play. (This photo won 2nd place in the Artosphere photo contest. Thanks to my hubby and the many hats he wears.)
Here is a small sample of the crowds going by!
Here I am tucked in the trees at Crystal Bridges. 
This beautiful couple started to dance to one of my songs. 
A nice article that appeared in the What’s Up! section of the paper before the weekend.
