Those who came and watch donated canned items that benefited “No Appetite for Hunger” a program at God’s Food Bank. The food bank, a non-denominational organization that feeds needy families in Logan County, with the goal of touching people’s hearts, fighting hunger and giving hope, serves 5,000 people a month. The program is needing help to continue their service during this time of year. Help donate by visiting their website.
If the live entertainment was not enough, hamburgers and hot dogs were served throughout the event the three-hour event.
Guthrie Chamber President Mary Coffin addressed the crowd and thanked them for attending and at the same time thanked Joe Burris for his help in putting the benefit concert together. Burris, a Guthrie resident, is the President of Land Run Records based in Oklahoma and who has signed the music artists.
“Joe called us (Chamber) and wanted to know how he could help his town following the May 24th tornado,” Coffin said.
Burris, much like Coffin thanked everyone for attending, and urged citizens to continue to give to the animal shelter and the food bank throughout the year.
Morgan, 16, saw her dreams become reality in early 2010: The Newcastle singer signed a recording contract with LandRun Records, attended her first industry function in Nashville during the Country Radio Seminar just last year, and met with several of Music Row’s top music publishing companies.
