From her tenure playing with The Claire Lynch Band, to her 7 International Bluegrass Music Association Bass Player of the Year awards, Missy Raines has proven herself without doubt as an iconic bluegrass instrumentalist. In 1998, Raines became the first woman to win IBMA’s Bass Player of the Year award and she went on to win the title more than any other bass player in the history of the organization, male or female. With nods to many of the varied and challenging chapters of her life, Raines songs speak volumes of her tenacity and musicianship, and her ability to rise to bluegrass fame despite the various confinements of the times. Her new CD, Royal Traveller was released in October of this year to wide acclaim

Jason Bloom
Clay is the easiest way for Jason to combine his passions for nature,
science, and design into individual, functional pieces of art. He
strives to create pottery that will become a favorite piece to be
used, examined, held, and enjoyed. Cooking and entertaining are some
of his favorite pastimes, heavily influencing the pottery Jason
creates. He believes, however, that functionality should not detract
from a form’s beauty and design. Motivated by the setting of his home
and studio near the Allegheny Plateau, he integrates the flora and
fauna he encounters each day into his glaze colors and embellishments.
In the end, he makes what he likes – pottery that is useful, beautiful
and inspirational.

Art is not just a copy of nature. It is a relationship and emotion that is communicated to the artist. It finds the soul like a seed and then it begins. It already knows the artist. What is that seed? Color, structure, inspiration or the challenge of it all. Painting is very personal for me. It is a beautiful inner, in-depth experience and watercolor is the perfect medium. It rewards me with energy.

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Penns Valley Music Boosters Launches Shoe Collection Drive to Raise money for Band and Band Front Uniforms
Shoe donations will also support micro-enterprises in developing nations and reduce what goes into landfills
Spring Mills, PA, March 1, 2019: Penns Valley Music Boosters is conducting a shoe collection drive on March 1st – April 30th to raise funds for Band and Band Front Uniforms. The PV Music Boosters will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all the donated goods. Those dollars will benefit the student's uniform fund. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes at the following locations: American Legion Post 779, Centre Hall; Weaver’s Store, Spring Mills; Shades of Red Salon, Aaronsburg; Old Gregg School Community Center, Spring Mills; Centre Hall Library, Centre Hall.
All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school.
“We are excited about our shoe drive," said Amy Smith, Music Booster President. "We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone,” added Amy.
By donating shoes to the Penns Valley Music Boosters, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives.
