Enjoyable concert to wrap up day 3

After spending Thursday walking and talking with volunteers and citizens, checking out unique scenary and eating at Mikey's Hunts Brothers Pizza, Todd, Patrick and I met Cort at Volunteer Village to listen to a mini-concert put on by Shawn Freeman of Portland Oregon and Craig Stramel of Hays. The audience consisted of volunteers from Nebraska in additon to the four of us. Freeman's family is from Greensburg. He's here helping his father get a start on retirement in the town. Stranel is a recent graduate of Fort Hays State University. He has a passion for volunteer work and isn't ready to start a real post-college job. He also has plans to turn in his applicaton for the Peace Corps. Stramel played what cover songs he knew how to play while Freeman performed some songs he's written. Freeman was the better singer/songwriter, but Stramel had the best performance when he wrapped up the show with an outstanding acoustice version of Oukast's "Hey Ya." It was the best concert I've ever seen in Greensburg.
