There's only 2 days left in the bidding!  Don't forget to bid, bid, bid!!!

 This is a message from a friend who works for Martina.  She's trying to raise money for a school in Nashville that was pretty much completely destroyed by the Nashville flood.  Happy bidding!!!!

Hey guys -
My name is Tracy Weaver and I am the Director of Fan Relations for Martina McBride.
Alan & Cindy were generous enough to donate some great items for me to auction off on Ebay - including an autographed cowboy hat, CD, poster, & t-shirt! This is to benefit my children's school that suffered over 4 million dollars in damage during the Nashville flood May 1 & 2. An anonymous donor from our school has agreed to match any funds raised up to $500,000 - so this is a way I can help. 100% of the proceeds will go to the schools flood recovery.

Other items in the auction include an autographed Martina Barbie (personalized to the high bidder); a pair of autographed jeans Martina wore on stage; an autographed Dierks Bentley Fender guitar; and more.
Each listing has a better explanation of where the money is going and why I have taken this on. Just wanted to make sure Alan's fans knew about the auctions! There will be some other goodies added in the next couple of days, so keep an eye out!

Here is the direct link to the items up for auction http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZweaverama1QQhtZ-1

Thanks!
Tracy

April 16th Date Set for Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony


Last June, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce honored country music superstar Alan Jackson as one of their 2010 Walk of Fame Recipients.  On April 16, 2010, at 11:30 am,  at a location to be announced soon, Alan will be immortalized into entertainment history receiving his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.   Even more notable is that Alan will have the distinctive honor of being selected during the year that celebrates the Walk of Fame’s 50th Anniversary.

Great Poll!  Can't wait to see the results....but my favorite isn't on the list. Dallas is my favorite.

Hey there! Just wanted to let y'all know we mailed out the newsletter today!  So be on the look out for it.  I also figured out what happened with the International newsletters last time.  Normally I know it does take extra time to go through customs and lately it seems customs is even slower, but the international newsletters weren't mail about at the same time as the US were mailed.  We had a new gal working on our account and she apparently didn't know to mail them out.  But we're all squared about this time, so everybody should get them in a timely manner.

ENJOY!

ALAN JACKSON WILL MEET FANS IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE CMA WEEK
Cracker Barrel constructs a “pop-up” store that will feature the Alan Jackson Collection; 
store is dedicated to country music and lifestyle merchandise

LEBANON, Tenn. – (November 4, 2009) –  Country music fans coming to Nashville during CMA Week will have the opportunity to meet Alan Jackson at a new attraction – a temporary Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® retail shop right in the middle of downtown, at lst & Broadway.  This one-week-only attraction, open November 7th – l2th (see hours below), will be dedicated to country music and the lifestyle its fans enjoy, and feature the newly released Alan Jackson Collection.  The highlight of the week will be an in-store appearance by superstar Alan Jackson on Tuesday, November l0, 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

When guests visit this “pop-up” store, they will enjoy the same Cracker Barrel hospitality they have come to expect from the popular restaurant concept, just without the biscuits. “We wanted to create something special for country music fans right in the heart of downtown Nashville to help celebrate CMA Week,” said Cracker Barrel’s Vice President of Marketing Peter Keiser. “Building a temporary store that features all 40+ items in The Alan Jackson Collection, as well as other Cracker Barrel retail merchandise related to music and our branded food products, is a good way to provide some extra excitement during CMA Week, a very special time for country music fans.” Keiser added, “While we couldn’t build a whole kitchen in this temporary store, we invite fans to also come on over to one of the many other Cracker Barrel restaurants in the Nashville area for some good country cookin’.”

Alan Jackson has an international reputation built up over twenty years of performing and recording, but he rarely makes public appearances like this, preferring to spend his off-stage time privately with his family. He decided to meet up with fans at this special Cracker Barrel location because he believes in the quality of this merchandise collection and because he likes the food at Cracker Barrel himself!  “I grew up in the South, so Cracker Barrel has been a part of my family since I was a young man,” says Alan Jackson.  “I was really flattered when they came to me with the idea of working together to create a collection for their country store, and I’ve been very impressed with the variety and quality of the items that we have put together. I think my fans and their families will appreciate everything in the collection.”
