Emma has a huge following with Oklahoma area home school youth and thus we decided to have her come on a night that we know the youth can come. Her high energy style along with a very high energy band and energetic teens is sure to blow the roof off the reunion center. Everyone is invited. This is a great opportunity for local non-musican youth to come to our fest and enjoy old time music and dance.
