    AI won tickets for preferred customer. I did not know what the event was that I had won tickets for. I am so glad that I won. Your show and the whole day was totally awesome. I was very impressed and loved the entertainment. My boyfriend, and his brother and girlfriend will be returning next year with a number of friends. Keep up the good works. It is totally awesome to come to something that is sober, and very enjoyable. Thanks again and see you in 2009. Julie Slaughter, Minnesota

Thank you all for giving me such a good time. Can't wait for Stonecreek Jamboree 2009! Sonny Elvis Pearson

    All one can say is WOW!! What a fantastic celebration you two share with family, friends, and strangers... This only goes to show the depth of your generosity. I am blessed to have you as one of my best friends. Also I am so proud of you both. I know the last jamboree put some excitement in my life in more ways than one!!!! Don't cha know. Can't wait to paint all those wonderful children and adults this year. Besides I get first dibs on the Shack. Love you both Lori Barkley Struckman, Minnesota

    Being part of this celebration party for 3 years has been an uplifting event worthy of everyone's time to see, as well as being able to donate time and volunteer to it.  Not many entertainment events happen in our world that is as uplifting for the whole family and community at large. Listening to the people's comments of what a wonderful time they are having is our reason to continue being on the other side of things, helping out where we can.   May the Lord be with us all. Joyce & Lew Nokleby Benson, MN

    Probably the most fun I have had in a long time (sober) ye ha you rock uncle Palmer!!! Gregg Johnson, Sacramento, California

2006, Testimonials to Mike & Amy

    Hey, what a wonderful evening you two provided for the neighborhood and surrounding areas! Food was great and the musical talent was outstanding!!! You have exceeded all expectations and more. Our fathers up above must be so very proud!I appreciate everything you have done! Will be glad to help next year if we can do anything!!!!! Love Vernette and Dale Ehrenberg, Big Bend, MN

    Just a note to say THANK YOU! That was absolutely amazing. Words fail me. Thank You for the opportunity to share that with you. Let me know if there will be a third annual and what I can do to help. Don Kanten/Operations Manager/CBF, Champlin, MN

    I assure you that the GRATITUDE is all on our part....the receivers of the wonderful slice of Americana that you obviously worked on VERY hard! What a beautiful place! While dear to my heart because of its family history and fond memories of growing up with it, you have made it a true show place. Now I live in a brown dried up area where everything is beautiful at a distance and I very much miss green grass and water and groomed yards and NO junker cars sitting around. So to spend time where you have provided all of that is good for the heart. All of this doesn't begin to say how much I also appreciate the music you have chosen, along with the venue. And then........I also got to see family, relatives, and many Ortonville and Appleton friends. I'll be there next year.......you betcha! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Judy Beckman, White Salmon, WA

    My husband and I were fortunate enough to be visiting Benson from Seguin, Tx when you hosted your pot-luck and Jamboree last weekend. In a nutshell-it was wonderful!! We enjoyed the entertainment, the food, and the whole experience. Everyone was so gracious and accommodating. It's mind-boggling to think of all the coordinating and preparation that it took to make everything run so smoothly. You 2 must be miracle workers. Congratulations on a successful event and next year, I'm sure the record WILL be broken!! Brenda Engelmann/Seguin, Tx. Mike and Amy, Just want to say Thanks for the great entertainment and pot luck last Saturday. The weather was great also. I,m already looking forward to next year and I,m sure you will make the book of records for the number of hot dishes. Thanks. Marilyn Gerhardson, New London, MN

    There are not the words to properly thank you two for what you have given me. The pleasure of Saturday evening will linger in my heart all through the winter months. It was the finest single day of the summer. Mike, your tribute to those who have gone before us is so touching, so heart-felt. It saddens me that anyone would choose to miss something like this. All of my life I have carried with me the joy of life that your family embodied, and I felt it in all of its glory this last weekend. Thank you for how much you have given me and my family. Sam was just buzzing on the way home and filled with questions about you, the farm, Ira and Mavis, and growing up as we got to. I am thrilled that he got to experience that. So, indeed, let’s share a dinner one of these days. Do you two get down toward the Cities? We live in Plymouth, in the Northwest corner of the metro, and would happily offer you a bed any time you’d like to come down. Please do! Lee Kanten/Senior Producer, Hoffman Communications, Inc.

    Hi guys, the event you put on is by far the BEST, Your professionalism and attention to detail exceeded all expectations and much more. You two are just wonderful, May God bless you both. We need more family events like you put on. Thank you for letting me be part of your 2006 Stonecreek Jamboree, looking forward to working with you on the 2007 Jamboree. Hope you take the Guinness Record. Sincerely, Sonny Elvis Pearson (TCB)

Stonecreek Committee: We've had the honor of being on the committee for the Stone Creek Jamboree for the past 2 years. Mike and Amy have made being a committee member so much fun! They are the most well organized couple to work with! This is the reason the Stone Creek Jamboree is such a successful event each year! They always put the enjoyment for those who will be attending as first priority! They want the guests, entertainers, and workers to want for nothing. It will always be free to the public, fun, and family oriented because of their generosity! The committee has already had a planning meeting for the August 25, 2007 Jamboree! What a joy to be on the 2007 committee! Chip and Gwen Dale, Benson, Minnesota
