Got Plans?

On Sunday March 7th, join us for a fundraiser for Dave Holbrook.  For years at Kooter Brown's Music Tavern at Caney Ridge (Barber), Dave hosted fundraisers for every cause and every person in need.  When Granny Sowers needed a truck, Kooters hosted a bikers' event.  When STIR needed a place to host a 3-day Songwriters' Earth Day Weekend Jam, Dave kindly offered Kooters--- and organized a Poker Run too.

A week ago, Kooter's new location in Tahlequah caught fire and much of the restaurant and bar were destroyed.  This fire also took the life of Jewely Herrington next door who owned Jewely's Pet Grooming.  Dave claims he had some hand in naming Jewely's business.  (She had intended to call it Jewely's Doggy Styles but Dave pointed out the ambiguity in that business brand.)   Jewely was a sweet and beautiful woman, and she will be missed very much.

So tomorrow, we're going to try and balance the scale of Karma just a little bit, by raising some money to help Dave with whatever is next for him in his life-- whether it be to start over or just walk away from his business and his baby that he had just opened on New Years' Eve or thereabouts.

Sometimes in life we seem to have our path in front of us in a clear way, only to discover that fate has moved the foot path.  But when it happens we can find the best in everything and not let fear of changes be an added obstacle. Our ability to cope is directly related to our ability to cope.  In other words, the sooner that we accept facts and look to the future, the sooner we can move on and adapt.

Sunday, come to Scooter Music Tavern at SH51 and the Bypass for great music, free food and some of the best folks you could ever call friends.  There, you can get a sense of  the kind of friendship that pulls people thru tragedies.  Dave and I both lost a parent within the last 5 weeks, and   we know first-hand how much we're loved by the people we love too.  There will be some good musical jam.  Hours are 3 pm to 1 am Sunday at Scooters.  Bring an auction item, or bring money to buy some cool stuff from the auction table.  Dennis Tibbits will be the auctioneer.
