Let's get caught up on our results of the KYSS/Earth & Wood "Things You Actually Give a Rip About Survey."  We're talkin' "The Arts"...more or less...and here are the winners...more or less.

Favorite Local Country Band or Artist:

1) Shane Clouse

2) Shodown

3) County Line

By the way, for those of us that have been around for a while it was really fun to see a few mentions for Jan Dell.

Best Place To Go Dancin':

This was VERY close...

1) Sunrise Saloon

2) The Lumberjack

3) The Elbow Room

My favorite response: "The mountains with the pickup door open blaring Mel McDaniels "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On".  Yeah Baby!"
