Nearby IGA in a small town is locally owned. The beloved older owner lost his wife not long ago. This is the only grocery store in town and he’s struggling. Volunteers have stepped in to help him. This is Small-town USA.

The Hart Party in Las Vegas raised $107,000 last night for Blues musicians in need such as medical, dental, emergency, and funeral expenses. Bill Murray joined the band for a couple of songs for the finale. A few of my favorites up there, his friends Mike Zito & Albert Castiglia plus Jimmy Vivino, Dave Kida, Mike Merritt, Jimmy Carpenter, Johnny Sansone, Nick Schnebelen, Doug Woolverton, Mike Early, Red Young.
The (sold out) Big Blues Bender in Vegas starts tonight.

That's me in the Orange shirt. It was a big prize. They flew my brother & wife from Va., I chose to drive since ground transportation was only from airport to hotel and I didn't care to fly DAB-CLT-MIA. We had 2 days of VIP treatment. 3 nights hotel, Champions Club, spending money, open bar, endless buffet, brunch, lunch, dinner (filet mignon), dessert, interview w/ Jamie Little, pre race festivities stage intro, met the track Prez, saw Richard Petty & Dale Inman and the 1979 Daytona 500 winning car. That was my first Daytona 500. My brother was with me then too. Giant blast from the past.
It was so last minute, last second notice. Started with a weird instagram message late Wed. night. Thurs was ALL day messages, emails, texts, phone calls, me searching the sources to make sure it wasn't a scam, finally got credentials emailed Friday morning from Nascar, and then I knew it was legit. I took a friend w/ me and just watched the race replay showing her favorite driver Joey Logano signing her shirt during driver intros. What a weekend.

What a cool experience for you! NASCAR is not my thing personally but I realize this is your world. How did you register for the drawing?

Wild story. I was browsing Instagram a month ago, this Sponsored post with Jamie Little says 'follow and comment' this page/post. Very unexpected last minute notice. Had to scramble to see who else could go and get to an airport. They tried to get me a free car rental but Hurricanes wiped them out. The icing on the cake is supposed to be a $3k check to defray prize taxes. Looking forward to that.
