Heritage Festival to Feature Hee-Haw Stars
The American Heritage Music Festival to be held June 7, 8 & 9 in the Grove Civic Center and Snider’s Campground will feature Hee-Haw stars LuLu Roman and Grove’s own Jana Jae.
LuLu Roman, a long-time singer, songwriter, comedienne, philanthropist and all-American sweetheart will take to the Hee-Haw stage on Saturday night’s grand finale show. LuLu has long been known for her sidesplitting humor and jovial disposition but her strong faith, combined with positive changes in her life led her to begin using a talent that had been laying dormant for many years—her voice. In 2002, her album, "Inspired", was nominated for a Dove award. LuLu and Jana Jae have remained friends since their years on Hee Haw and Jana looks forward to sharing the American Heritage Music Stage with her.
It will be a full weekend of music, contests, clogging and much more. Beginning with a Kick-Off Party and Barbecue on Thurday night at 6 p.m. at Snider’s Camp located just south of Grove on Grand Lake. Another evening of entertainment and delicious food is planned for Friday night at the campground. Admission to the events at Snider’s Camp is free, the food is $5 a plate. The public is invited to bring their lawn chairs and enjoy some great entertainment.
The Grove Civic Center is the setting for the fiddle competitions beginning on Friday, June 8 at 10 a.m. with other contests, such as dobro, banjo, mandolin, flatpicking, and a contest of Bob Wills’ fiddle music, being enjoyed throughout the day. Saturday morning the fiddle competitions continue at 9 a.m. and clogging competitions also begin at 9 a.m. on a second stage and will continue throughout the day. Top prize in both the clogging and fiddle competitions is $1000 making this festival one of the most competitive in the nation.
In addition to LuLu Roman, Jana Jae will be in classic form performing with her band, Hotwire, and her family and friends. Jana’s parents, Daddy Joe and mother, Bette Hopper always bring the audience to their feet as they join Jana and Hotwire on stage. Jana’s son, Matt Greif will take a few days off from his busy schedule with the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet to WOW the audience as he shares his fantastic talent on the guitar. Matt recently played with his group in New York City’s Carnegie Hall.
The Saturday night show features other great entertainers and contest finalists. The Honey Creek Honeys, Prairie Breeze String Band, Bluegrass Friends, and Taking Chances are among the many talented entertainers on stage throughout the weekend.
