Jeremy Myers in Concert @ Ozark Empire Fair starting at 7 pm. Jeremy Myers is pleased to perform at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds at the DeLong Plumbing Heating & Air Stage by the Annex! Born and bred in Missouri, Jeremy will have you hooked for an evening of fiddle, banjo, and guitar for what can only be described as Ozarkana! Yes, an invented word. Some even may say, there's a little Bluegrass in it. You've probably heard him at the Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival and the Heritage Days festivals hosted by Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, but he's also played on stages from Lindberg's in Springfield to as far away as the Alaskan Folk Festival. Website: www.jeremymyers.info http://jeremymyers.info/video/ https://www.youtube.com/fiddleflapper Facebook: www.facebook.com/simplyjeremymyers About the music: Someone once said, “If music is a place — then jazz is the city, folk is the wilderness, rock is the road, and classical is a temple.” With his small-town Missouri roots as a compass, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Myers artfully navigates this wilderness, stitching together his hopes, dreams, victories, and adventures in song to weave a vibrant tapestry of a distinctly American countryside that will make you feel right at home. From the small, curious child who taught himself harmonica to the dedicated adolescent who became a skilled guitarist, Jeremy has since captivated audiences with his skillful command of fiddle, mandolin, clawhammer banjo, and cello. His warm, silvery voice and expressive musicianship imbue his music with a comforting grassroots sound reminiscent of living-room jam sessions and Ozarks front porch storytelling.

Our Candlelight Deep Stretch is the perfect way to end your week after much busyness. Come support your body and relieve tension and stress in this slow gentle class. Deep Stretch is an active stretching class that targets primary muscle groups surrounding the hips, hamstrings and upper back. Living in a forward facing, seated world, these areas tend to be tight for everyone. Tight muscles can cause imbalance and pull the body out of alignment. In this class you can expect a mixture of gentle flowing movement guided by the breath coupled with deep stretch. During flows you can expect to create heat which is then followed by relaxing poses held for an extended period. Holding poses for longer periods of time and focusing on breath gives the body time to fully relax and open. This class is led by RYT200 certified teacher, Jamie Strong. Every Friday at 6:00pm Free to Zenith members \\ $10 drop-ins Full Schedule: http://zenithclimbing.com/yoga/ Friday Night Magic @ Nameless City Board Games & Comics at 6:30 – 9:30 pm.

"This is the year to design and execute your dream life. We can help you," says Tedi. Self Love Club is where women of all ages and backgrounds meet to connect, learn, grown and ultimately have fun during the process of life.

American Dreamer is grand finale of 2019 for Jim, and features him as an ride share driver who moonlights as a private driver for a drug dealer. In April, Gaffigan will co-star in the new film Drunk Parents with Alec Baldwin & Salma Hayek. Additionally, this year Gaffigan will release his unprecedented 7th stand up special, Quality Time with Amazon making history as their first original comedy special, and continue his international arena and theater tour. In addition to two seasons of the critically acclaimed semi-autobiographical The Jim Gaffigan Show, which he wrote and produced with his wife Jeannie, and his widely popular stand-up comedy specials, Gaffigan has guest starred on many television comedies and dramas, ranging from Portlandia and Bob’s Burgers to the HBO cult hits Flight of the Concords to dramatic roles in Law & Order. Gaffigan regularity does humorous commentaries on CBS Sunday. Last year Jim served as master of ceremony at The Al Smith Memorial dinner.
