| | "BEFORE COUNTRY WAS COOL, CRYSTAL WAS 'COOL'..." Never has one reviewer captured a platinum clad, Grammy Award winning career so beautifully in so few words.
Crystal encapsulates everything the dazzling qualities of her name implies - although that name came to her in quite an unusual fashion. "Crystal" came at the suggestion of Brenda Gayle Webb's older sister, Loretta Lynn - who knowing there was already a 'Brenda Lee' currently successful in the music industry - suggested her younger sibling adopt the name 'Crystal' when she began recording.
Once re-named, her musical boundaries have since been seemingly limitless - as proven by her latest much anticipated project - "All My Tomorrows" - a mood influenced collection of American standards. Songs such as "Cry Me A River", "Sentimental Journey", "It Had To Be You", and "Smile" somehow reach the heights their songwriter's must have dreamed of when piped through the beautiful chords of Crystal Gayle. "These are songs any artist loves to sing," said Crystal in a recent interview. "They've endured to become timeless."
Strange to think of anyone as young and vibrant as the artist in question as a "timeless classic" herself - but that indeed describes the course Crystal Gayle's career has taken. Chic, hip, and cool with a romantic mane of hair that sweeps around her ankles, she has moved country music to its highest platform. Crystal will never again linger in the shadow of being Loretta's baby sister. Drop dead beautiful and dressed in designer threads, Crystal took country music to town on her arm in the 70's and introduced it to mainstream audiences.
Success swept around her as gracefully as her trademarked long hair. Her inspirational album, "Someday," was nominated for a Grammy. With the advent of the new millennium, Crystal recorded "In My Arms", a enduring collection of children's lullabies. The project was an outgrowth of her love for the littlest of listeners. Always gracious and generous with her time & talents, Crystal has been awarded the coveted "Celebration of Light Award" in recognition of her myriad humanitarian efforts - among them the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Arthritis Foundation. One of the most fitting honors in her career came in 1999 when "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" was recognized by ASCAP as being one of the ten most performed songs of the 20th century.
At home in Nashville when not touring, Crystal continues to make the world a little more beautiful just by her presence. Her upscale boutique, "Crystal's" is one the the cities premiere destinations for the most beautiful gifts and finest jewelry. Her two children - daughter Catherine and son Chris - and her husband Bill Gatzimos - are her admitted heartbeat. | |

| | Welde's Big Bear Show All six days | |
|
| | Because the human population is growing in vast numbers the bears' natural habitats are being destroyed at an astronomical rate. At one time there were 200,000 Grizzly Bears in the lower 48 states. Today there are fewer than 1,000. Some species of bears only exist in captivity.
Welde's is educating the public about the loss of habitat and the dangers of loosing this beautiful endangered species. It is now a scientifically proven fact that if we continue to destroy our wild animals our very existence is in jeopardy. | |
|
| | Visit our livestock area to see the Baby Farm Animal Exhibit. This is an educational display young and old alike will enjoy. Local college students are available to answer questions from the public. And if you time it just right, you may even see a "baby" being born. | |
