This year's Festival features Farmer Jason! Farmer Jason is the brainchild of rock music legend Jason Ringenberg of Jason and the Scorchers. An Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Ringenberg is one of the pioneers of the modern Americana and alt-country genres. In 2002 he created Farmer Jason to educate and entertain children about farm life and the wonders of nature; the character is based on his own farming background and love of the great outdoors. As Farmer Jason he has released three records and a DVD. Farmer Jason's records have won numerous awards, including the Parents’ Choice Gold Award and the Los Angeles Times’ Children’s Record of the Year list.
You will recognize Farmer Jason from his Emmy Award-winning “It’s a Farmer Jason” video segment, which airs on public broadcasting stations around the United States, including Nashville Public Television. Farmer Jason played a special concert last year at West End UMC Preschool to an overjoyed crowd of singing and dancing preschool fans. We are so fortunate to have booked him for a return engagement!
The Inflatables are just that...our gym will be filled with inflatables for children of all ages. For those who are new to the Festival, in past years we have had a small outdoor area with a giant slide or bounce house. This year we will be increasing the number of inflatables to transform the gym into bounce bliss, including an area for toddlers (two and under).
We are thrilled to have such amazing entertainment for this year's Festival. Thank you so much to Susanne Hicks and the Entertainment Committee for your incredible work!
Sounds like a great show!
