Just a Reminder......

From time to time we like to post the "Rules of the House" just so new folks are aware of the way things operate at the Opry House. We are happy to be known as a relaxed, family-style venue where you can come and enjoy good music without worrying about what the kids will overhear or see. Our policy is: no alcohol, no tobacco products of any kind, and respectable language PLEASE ! Anyone not adhering to the Rules of the House will be asked to leave. This way, our audience - including the kids and grandma - can all enjoy a night out ! Thanks !

YOU Can Make A Difference !

In an effort to reach out to the community, the Scruggs Opry House will be collecting donations of canned food items to be distributed by the Belmont Community Organization (BCO) to local families in need. Bring canned food items to JAM Sessions and shows and know that you are helping people who are having a difficult time making ends meet ! This is something we can do to make a difference ! Your participation would really be appreciated....think of how much food we could donate if everyone dropped off a couple cans each time they came ! We'd like to have a really good donation by the first of December (or earlier if possible !) We tend to think of these things around the holidays, but people are in need every day. Thank you for considering helping out on this food drive !

JULY JAM SESSION .....

The JULY MUSICIANS' JAM SESSION will be on MONDAY JULY 7th at 7:OO PM.
You know we usually wind it up by 9:00 to get the kids home and in the bed,
but since school's out it may run longer than usual, so come ready-n-raring to go!
There's never a charge to pick or to listen on JAM nights. The snack bar will
be open with ice cream, sodas, etc. We will NOT be scheduling a show for
the month of July because a lot of people are on vacation and because
Anthony shows the "Movies in the Park" for the City of Belmont the first
three Saturdays of the month. We encourage you to join us at the JAM and
try to take the family out to Stowe Park for the free movies on those nights
if you're in town. We will post the August schedule here and send out a notice
to the e-mail list as soon as the schedule is completed. In the meantime,
have a safe and fun summer !! HAPPY JULY 4TH AMERICA !!!!!! Fly your flag !

The Scruggs Opry House family lost a good friend several days ago. You may have
known Haley Chastain (Mrs. Chris Barfield) from her longtime work at Twin Tops
Fish Camp. Please remember her family in prayer. In addition to her husband,
her family includes a young son and daughter, as well as her parents, sister, and
extended family. We rejoice that she is safe with the Lord, but she will really be missed here. Thank You.
