On the weekend of September 21st through the 23rd, we played by Roseau at a "campground" on Bemis Hill. Every year a fundraiser for St. Jude's Research Hospital is held there. Everyone fundraises for about a month and then comes together at Bemis Hill. Everyone brings their own horse and goes on either a 10- or 23-mile ride around the hill. I (Hannah) have been going to this event for quite a number of years. My Uncle Clint and Aunt Mary were kind of in charge of the fundraiser this year, and we had a lot of fun with them. I usually play my violin just for fun in the lodge for anyone who wants to listen, but this year all of Freedom's Call played and we had a blast! At the end of the concert, they announced how much money everyone had raised and the total shocked us all! Everyone together had made a whopping $9,000!!!! I can't think of a better cause that this money could be used for!
We were so lucky to have Aunt Mary along. She is the best campfire cook you will ever meet!
I am also glad that our (Hannah and Amy's) grandparents came along. Thank you so much for hauling my horse!

In front of the stage is Darlene Danielson (another fundraiser organizer) with the lady who fundraised the most money. She alone made $2,000!
Our late-night dinner (after the concert) One of the main highlights of our trip was getting these new green sweatshirts. Thank you, Aunt Mary!!!

Looks like a lot of fun! I am kind of jealous of your cool green sweatshirts! Those are so cute! But of course it's the sweet girls IN the sweatshirts that make them cute I guess...yup.
Anyway...just want you to know that I am a BIG huge fan of your music. Not big and huge as in fat, but you know what I mean...
