Wylie and the Wild West at the Barn
The concert was held on the hillside behind the Barn, with net proceeds going to create an agricultural museum from the loafing shed building seen in the upper left corner of this image. We appreciate the support shown by those who came to the concert.From an attendee: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Wylie and the Wild West was a GREAT show and the Dahman Barn was the perfect backdrop. I haven’t heard many of his songs, but I do enjoy the sound and style of his band. And yes, Wylie is quite the entertainer. I arrived late (it was intermission when I got there) but enjoyed browsing through the barn before the second half of the show. Judging by the songs he performed, the second half was probably the “meat” of his show. A good mix of traditional country/cowboy tunes and lots of yodeling in the final number of the set (aside from Bonnie Guitar, Wylie’s the quintessential yodeler!!) The crowd gave a standing ovation at the end, so the band played four more songs. It was about 4:30 when the concert ended. So I enjoyed a very relaxing, and fun, afternoon. Thank you!!!"And, we thank our underwriters, listed below, who donated cash or in-kind services or goods to make this our most-important-ever event successful.BENEFACTORS Lewiston Tribune with the Daily News KRLC with KCLX Radio Stations McGregor Company Skelton’s Carpet One Vern Eide Ford of Moscow SPONSORS Avista Busch Distributors Cannon's Building Supply Red Lion Inn Reilly Accounting South Fork Bistro Uniontown Co-op with the Lewis Clark Grain TerminalSUPPORTERS AmericanWest Bank Best Western University Inn Chipman-Taylor Columbia Tractor Gritman Medical Center Hahn Rental Center Image Design Center Inland Networks Lewiston Printing McKenzie’s Hair Salon, Pullman Moscow Building Supply NW Farm Credit Services PDQ Import Repair Pepsi/7-Up Premier Alpacas of the Palouse RE/MAX Pullman Roach Construction Schwan’s Stonebraker-McQuary Insurance Agency Uniontown Deli & Mini Mart Valley Electric Wild West Ranch WearSpecial thanks go to the Whitman County Sheriff's Posse for help with the parking, and the many, many volunteers from the community and the boards of directors who went out of their way to prepare the hillside and staff various jobs the day of the event.

Best hat at the 2010 annual Tea at the Barn
DeAnn Scrabeck of Lewiston, Idaho, won the Best Hat award at the recent Summer Garden Party Tea at the Barn. Says DeAnn, "As for the hat, it was made by Harriett Miller of Parkway Florists in Louisville Kentucky for an event at the 1999 National Funeral Directors Association Annual Convention in Boston. (I was in charge of meetings and conventions for NFDA for 15 years.) Harriett was a part of a team of FTD florists from around the country who did all the floral arrangements for the conventon. Harriett, being from Louisville, makes hats for the ladies who attend the Kentucky Derby. Obviously she is a gifted florist and a wonderful hat designer! This brings back wonderful memories of some very special folks". The hat was stunning and DeAnn wore it well. Congrats!
