| I've been lucky enough to meet many country singers over the years. Either through fan clubs, winning, or through the good old autograph line-it's always been a neat experience. Below are pictures of me and the stars and a little bit about how I met them. |

| The last day of Country Fest 1999. My mom and I were walking near the radio booths when we saw someone from K102 handing out something. We checked it out and I ended up with a meet and greet pass to meet Faith!!! I was super excited and super nervous! The manager guy told us to say hi to her and to tell her our name-never have I been told to tell a star my name. So it's my turn and I say: Hi Faith. I'm Dana and it's so great to meet you She said you too and then said that she liked my shirt-I wonder why. :) |

| Me & Danni Leigh July 17, 1999 - Eau Claire, WI |
| My mom won to sit on stage for Danni Leigh at Country Jam. I didn't know many of her songs, but she put on a great show. After the show we got a meet and greet pass to get to meet Danni. I didn't have anything for her to sign because she didn't have any merchandise out. Luckily she had her own pictures and signed them for us. I told her that she put on an awesome show and she said thanks. She's gonna be big someday! |

| It was announced before their show that if you signed up to be in their fan club, you would get to meet The Wilkinsons! I jumped at the chance. I would have joined earlier, but by the time I found out they had a club it would have been too late to get all my fan club stuff. Braving the rainy weather, I got to meet them. While waiting in line, Clay Walker came back to say hi to them - it was a neat star experience to see 2 stars at once! |

| Me & Bryan White September 4, 1999 - Marshfield, WI |
| Our first trip to the Central Wisconsin State Fair was to see Bryan White. We got 3rd row seats and it was an awesome show!! The meet and greet was after the show and there were a lot of people waiting to meet Bryan. I told Bryan that I loved the new album. I think I look weird in this picture - where's my smile?! |

| Me & Andy Griggs June 22, 2003 - Cadott, WI |
| The first day of Country Fest and we heard before Andy's show that he would be signing autographs after his show. So when he was done we went and got in line to meet him. He signed my Fest book for me and he was really cool. This is definitely a better picture then the one above and to the right with me and Bryan... |

| Me & Neal McCoy June 23, 2000 - Cadott, WI |
| I was in Neal's fan club and I was glad that he was coming back to Country Fest. I had met him the year before, but the picture was ruined and I was determined that this picture would turn out well - it did. Neal's & Bryan's meetings were going on at the same time, so I got to go to the head of Neal's line. :) Neal is awesome!! |

| Me & Bryan White (again LOL) June 23, 2000 - Cadott, WI |
| After meeting Neal, I went and got in line to meet Bryan. I don't know what it is, but I never know what to say to Bryan when I meet him. This time I told him that I liked his shirt (One Life to Live-his then girlfriend (now wife) was on the show). He signed my CD cover and was nice like always! |

| Me & Jessica Andrews June 24, 2000 - Cadott, WI |
| When Jessica's fan club started, I joined right away and was happy to see that she was coming to Country Fest. I was one of the 3 fan club members that got to meet Jessica (along with radio/sponsor people). I told Jessica Congrats on her ACM Award and she signed my Heart Shaped World album cover! |
