August 4... We came down on a Friday night to sing at Bible Tabernacle Church's 33rd Annual Missionary Camp Meeting in Ruth, NC. The weeklong meetings were held in the open-air arbor. Ronald Spencer of Grottoes Virginia was the guest preacher. Ministers from dozens of countries were represented, and no one was sent home empty handed.

August 5... We were happy to be at the 50th Annual Mount Mitchell Craft Fair in Burnsville, NC. This festival has gotten bigger each year! The sound was provided by the talented Carolina Quartet, and we loved walking around looking at all the crafts. |

August 6... The Cockman Brothers made the trip to beautiful Altapass Apple Orchards on the Blue Ridge Parkway. After the singing we were treated to some ice cream! Bill and Judy Carson run this place along with the help of some great volunteers. We love visiting this wonderfully scenic landmark. |

August 12... We sang to benefit the Caldwell County hospice at Mackie High Funeral Home in Granite Falls, NC. We were afraid we might get rained out, but the weather cleared in time for our concert. An area church provided hotdogs and hamburgers, and an ice cream vender provided some great refreshment. |

August 13... This was our second time at Dayspring Community Church. We are grateful for Pastor Steedley for inviting us back. The church had a nice crowd for their homecoming, and the dinner afterward was one of the best! Grandma Cockman came with Caroline, and we had a very nice morning here. |

August 20... We all made the trek out to Knifely Kentucky to visit Floren and Julinda Morrison and sing at their Church. Floren and Julinda are the parents of Ben's fiancé Melissa. They put us up in their house, and cooked several huge meals for us. The church also provided a wonderful covered dish meal after the Sunday service. We were glad to meet Melissa's friends and family in beautiful Russel Springs, KY. We also got an appreciation for the twelve-hour, round-trip drive that Ben makes nearly once a week! |

August 27... Sunday the Butterpats gave a solo concert at the Salisbury Church of God. We were helped out by the Edwards Family. Connie Edwards' father is the pastor of the church, and he preached a short sermon between two sets by the Butterpats. The Edwards Family backed us up on "Jesus Loves Me", and Shane helped us on the bass for about half our songs. Afterward they took us out to IHOP! |
