The Horses and Harmony fundraiser benefitting the Williamson County 4 H Project and the Monroe Carrell, Jr. Children’s
Hospital at Vanderbilt was a galloping success. The April 17, 2010 event held at The Jaeckle Centre in Thompson’s Station was the perfect
evening for folks who like to horse around or those who just like to listen to good music and eat barbecue.
The music provided by songwriters Alex Call, James Dean Hicks, and Marc Beeson ranged from the nostalgic to the spiritual. The trio
performed Call’s “Power of Love” which was made famous by Huey Lewis and the News, Beeson’s “When She Cries,” and Hicks’
“Jesus and Mama,” as well as several others from the many hits each of them has written throughout their careers.

The evening meal was prepared by The Rib Man and was simply delicious. During the musical performance, Beeson commented that
the barbecue chicken was the best he had ever eaten. Horse Lover Magazine photographer Chuck Smith exclaimed that the ribs were
better than his daddy’s!

The silent auction was a big hit too with folks openly competing to see who would wind up with the items submitted for auction. The hottest item
was the package containing five free haul-ins to ride at Jeff King Stables in Arrington, TN.

Master of Ceremonies and 4H co-leader Sheila King offered praise for the students in the 4H project prior to introducing the evening’s
musical performance. King said that each of the 4H students possesses a big heart for helping others in the community who cannot
spend time with horses or other hobbies because of their circumstances

Finally, the evening was made even more special by the beauty and elegance of the Jaeckle Centre itself, an equestrian facility located
at 100 Saddle Springs Blvd., Thompsons Station, TN.
