| 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. |
| Click pictures to enlarge them. :) |
| I was glad that Rascal Flatts came back to Country Fest after the mishap the year before (they said fan club didn't meet at festivals-which was wrong). It was great to finally get to meet the guys - even though I only talked to Joe Don (oops!). I showed him my SHeDAISY ring because he was dating Kassidy at the the time. I told him that I was a big fan of both of them and he told me he'd tell her I said hi. :) |

| Me & Jessica Andrews June 29, 2002 - Cadott, WI |
| I almost missed my meeting with Jessica at Country Fest. Meet and greets are normally an hour before the show, but I was surprised when we asked when the meeting was and they said 'right now'. So I was taken backstage to the dressing rooms and barely made it. I had Jessica sign my Jessica bear since I had both album covers signed already. I told her that I was DanaChick and asked when she'd post again... |

| Me & Chris Cagle June 30, 2002 - Cadott, WI |
| My mom and I went to check when Trick Pony's meet and greet was and we saw a line by Chris Cagle's merchandise table. They all had Chris Cagle stuff so I got my CD cover out and had him sign it. That blasted sun kind of messed up the picture, but you can tell that it's him. It was great of him to sign autographs since many don't do that anymore. |

| Me & Trick Pony June 30, 2002 - Cadott, WI |
| When they started their fan club, I joined right away and got to meet them at Country Fest! I was super nervous, like usual. I don't even remember what I said to them-LOL! When I was leaving, Keith wouldn't give me the album cover back - why, I don't know. But then he gave me a hug and the cover back and I was gone. I felt so special...aw! |

| Me & Lonestar July 20, 2002 - Eau Claire, WI |
| Another Lonestar meeting, this time at Country Jam. Those running the meet and greets usually separate fan club members from 'the free' people and let them go first. This was the first time that I was glad to be a fan club member. Those not in the fan club only got a picture, while FC members got an autograph too! -haha- I told Michael congrats on the baby since his wife had a baby just days before... |

| Me & Jo Dee Messina July 27, 2002 - Tomah, WI |
| My mom won tickets to the Monroe County Fair for Jo Dee's show-and I was glad because I'd be able to use a meet and greet! I'd never been to this fair before, but it was pretty nice. The meeting was back by her bus. I gave Jo Dee a purple heart to put in your window and she really liked it. Don took our picture with a polaroid camera instead of using our own cameras-which I didn't care for. |

| Me & SHeDAISY November 14, 2002 - Minneapolis, MN |
| SHeDAISY was the first country act to perform at the newly renevated Pantages Theater. I had 3rd row seats for this awesome show. When I met the girls, I told them I was SHeDANA and they remembered meeting me!!! Kristyn thanked me for defending them on the Patch and she loved my shirt (she loves Sugar Babies!). I gave each of the girls a bag with a stuffed animal, candy and a card in it. They rock! |

| Me & Trick Pony November 21, 2002 - La Crosse, WI |
| Trick Pony's first headlining tour came to La Crosse, and I had to go! A lot happened in the minute or so I met the Ponies. I told Heidi that I loved the new album. I wished Keith a belated birthday and he gave me a hug. Also, when I was leaving the area, he fixed my necklace for me. Aw...! I never know what to say to Ira.. |
