Greetings from Canton!

June 19, 2012 by Cece

I’m here in Canton, Ohio for the 2012 Lincoln Highway Association conference, and all I can say is wow, what a night last night!

I had the honor to start the festivities off after invocation last night at dinner with a few songs from next year’s program.  I am still floored by the response from over 130 people in attendance last night. Everyone had a good time, and were smiling and singing along. Thank you again to the Ohio Lincoln Highway League and the Ohio Lincoln Highway Historic Byway for letting me be a part of your conference this year.

We shot video of my performance last night, and plan to put up excerpts after the conference is over, so stay tuned for that! In the meantime, I plan to post daily about the conference with pictures and words, so check back often for those posts. If you are in the Canton area, attending the conference, I have a table in the book room this year.  Please stop by to say hello!  I’ll also have an advance copy of last night’s songs for sale for $5, and you can’t beat that.

Here are a few picture highlights from yesterday:

President Lincoln and I met yesterday afternoon, and he bought a copy of my CD!
Here is a view of my booth for this year’s conference.

A big thanks to Paul Gilger for accompanying me last night. I couldn’t have done it without him!

So glad to see a good friend and colleague Brian Butko last night at the conference! I know he is a busy man.
