Pickin' On The Porch - September 17, 2010


PICKIN' ON THE PORCH - please join us for our 3rd, Third Friday – Pickin’ on the Porch at Nina Ridge Country Store. If you haven’t been to Freda’s store, you’ll be in for a treat - with the potbelly stove, merchandise on the shelves and antiques hanging from the ceiling, you’ll think you’ve stepped back into the early 20th Century or at the very least, have been transported to a very cool reproduction of an old-time store at Disney World.

Local Realtor
and popular singer/musician Dan Waters has graciously offered to get musicians together and has a good variety of county, Bluegrass and folk lined up – including numbers by Payne and Waters (Ron Payne and Dan Waters), The Tuggles (Libby, Darrell and Donna), Danny Jordan, Justin Cromer, and Andy Blyth. In addition to music, there will be cards and checkers.

You might want to bring a lawn chair, “just in case” – we have about 50 chairs but no way to tell how many guests we’ll have – plus, many of our chairs are on the inside and the “pickin’ is going to be on the porch”…

This is a FREE event. Many of you know that Freda does serve home-cooked meals Mon - Sat. No meals will be served on this evening. However, you will be able to purchase drinks and light snacks.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS: From center stop light in Lancaster, take 52 east towards Richmond & Interstate 75. Drive 3.3 miles & turn left on 1295, towards Kirksville. Drive 4.4 miles & turn left on 1131. One-half mile down road sign on left says 1131 . DO NOT turn left. Continue driving straight (there will be post to your right that says Nina Ridge Road). Drive 9/10 mile & Nina Ridge Country store will be on your left.
