Jerry Schickling: News

Boy-oh-boy is summer zippin' right on bye! Next Saturday is the last day of July, and North Country and I are pulling double duty on shows that day! Here's the details:
The first show will be at Starr Hill Winery (http://www.starrhillwinery.com/) in Curwensville, from 2 to 5 pm. Those of you who have joined us there before know what an absolutely AWESOME time we have at this event. Those of y'all who are gonna join us for the first time are in for a real treat! Bring your lawn chairs for an afternoon of music, wine tasting, and fun under the tent! Make sure you take the tour of the winery, and plan on a relaxing and enjoyable time on "The Hill"!
The second show will be at MoJo's (http://clubmojosclearfield.com/) from 8 pm to midnight. I believe this will be the first time they've had a country music show at MoJo's. This should also be a blast, as they have a great stage for the performers and an atmosphere to socialize and have fun! If ya just can't get enough of us at Starr Hill (ha, ha), take a nap afterwards and join us at Mojo's for a double shot!
For those of y'all coming to town for fair week, this would be a great day for you to join us at one of these shows (or both) and party with us!
FINAL NOTE: Y'all have been AWESOME in support of my one minute video supporting the troops! I could still use some more hits to it, and if you haven't rated it yet, please put your cursor on the star (5!- LOL) and rate it. Still got about a week to go before the finalists are announced, but the more views I get, and the better the rating may sway the judges in my favor. To view and rate it go to http://www.hannity.com/videos. Right above the horizontal row of videos, on the upper left, you can click the tab for "Most Watched". Just go to the second page of the most watched and you'll see it there titled "The Unknown Soldier".

Jerry will once again return to the CAST Theatre for a festive Country Music Christmas performance. Fresh off of the release of his new CD “It All comes Back To Me”, Jerry is excited about this year’s show: “I’m really looking forward to the Christmas show this year” he said. “After having to cancel last year’s show, I can’t wait to see all the folks who come to CAST to celebrate the season with me!”.
Once again this year Jerry’s show will feature the incredible voice of Brenda Weber, as well as Mark Kos on acoustic guitar, and a new addition to the show Kathie Ann Pearcy. “Kathie Ann has been playing keyboard and piano with me for the past few years, and I her asked her to join us for the show. I think the folks will enjoy the songs she’ll be singing”.
In addition to the traditional Christmas favorites like Winter Wonderland, Joy To the World, Away In A Manger, O’ Little Town of Bethlehem, and others, Jerry will be singing a song titled Unknown Soldier that is featured on his new CD. “Unknown Soldier is a heart-felt tribute to our military and fallen heroes” Jerry stated. “It’s my small way of saying ‘Thank you’ to all the men and women who have bravely served and sacrificed for our country”.
There will be prizes given away throughout the show to anyone who brings some non-perishable food items to donate to the Clearfield/Curwensville Ministerium food bank, and raffle tickets will be sold for the chance to win a guitar that will be autographed by Jerry and the gang. The proceeds from the guitar raffle will be donated to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund. The Freedom Alliance was founded by Col. Oliver North, and honors the bravery and dedication exhibited by Americans in our Armed Forces who have sacrificed life or limb defending our country by providing educational scholarships to their children.
Make plans to join us!!

I truly hate to announce this, it's been a tough decision, and I've been mentally wearing myself out trying to decide what to do. Due to the passing of my dear mother-in-law, I had to cancel this years Christmas Concert. She'd been battling inoperable cancer for the past few years.
I realized that I didn't have the time to properly prepare for the quality show that y'all have come to expect from me, and feel I'm needed more than ever now to focus on the issues at hand with my family.
I want to thank you all for the support throughout the past concert season, and will be scheduling a show at CAST in the spring of '09 to help them raise some much needed funds for their programs.
God bless y'all!!
Jerry
