This, my dears, is amped up evidence that amid wars abroad and economic troubles at home, America is still a great country: It's called "Patio of Fire" and it hails out of Payson, Utah. "Meals on Wheels" is the name of the band and my little sister's husband plays the guitar. This, friends, is what celebrating America is all about. This is the true Freedom Festival. Where young boys (now grown into men) can gather together to perform for their friends and family, no stadium required. This is pursuing your dreams, one cover song at a time.
Attendance has now grown big enough that it’s more of a “Big Back Yard of Fire” experience and I tell you, I love this show. I love the raffle tickets and prizes. I love the silly commercials and t-shirts. I love the smoke machine and disco ball. I love that “Willie” M.C’s, that they give out a life time achievement trophy award. But mostly, I love to see people gathered to hear their neighborhood boys perform.
Watching the children dance to live music while I eat their left over brownies is nice, too.

that looks like a beautiful family having great all American fun, too bad I missed it. There's always next year.
It was fun, huh? It always is, but was that really the best picture you had of me?!
Great pictures to bring back memories of a fun evening. Yea, I agree with Ange, couldn't you have photo shopped the picture of me to look a little younger and slimmer.
