This years fan club party was held at the award winning hot spot, The Trap. Here's Tracy's new bus in front of The Trap. Everyone at the party seemed to have a ball. We were served Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, and Chicken, with all the trimmings. All of which were cooked in Tracy's special spices and marinades. YUM!!!!
People got together and visited each other like they haven't seen each other in a while. Seemed like a big reunion. We all had a ball. Here are some of the gang. If you have a photo or story to share, we'd love to hear and see it.
We had a special treat. Many of the band members had their families with them. Their wives and their children. That was a blast to get to see them too. The children had a ball. Presley (Marc and Maria's daughter) and Sidney (Johnny Lee and Teresa's daughter) was on stage most of the time when the boys were playing. They even knew most of the words to the songs. Those girls were just precious and really added to our event.

The 50-50 band played and sang for us for a while. Then Tracy jumped on the stage and entertained us for about 45 minutes. He took some requests and of course sang the old favorites. The show was wonderful as always. It was great fun!!!!
Tracy surprised us with a special treat. A young fan named Seth has been coming with his family to Tracy's fan club parties since he was a toddler. Seth is growing up and has been picking the guitar and singing for some time now. Tracy offered him one of his picks to use, but he had brought his own, ready to play.
Tracy asked Seth to play a song for us. He did an awesome version of Keeper of the Stars. You can tell by the look on Tracy's face as he played that he did a wonderful job.
Tracy then announced that we'd better get started with the meet and greets. I bet there were 500 to 600 people there. I know he was there well after 7:30 talking to everyone, taking photos and signing autographs. I bet he was beat! I know each and every one of us appreciate Tracy doing that. If you have your meet and greet photo you would like to share, I'd love to add it here.
I know we are all thankful to Sharon and her staff for putting this fun event together for us. Tracy and his band make us fans feel as if are one big family and it sure is nice to be able to get together this one day a year to all be together. I loved every minute I was there. I sure hope you all did too. If you were not able to attend this year, I hope my photos and stories help describe the fun we all had. We all missed you, so try to come next year!
