The first such performance was held way back in 1995 and a potluck dinner for the guests added a special touch to the show. For the initial few concerts, the listeners had to sit on bales of hay or provide their own lawn chairs, states Bill Aten.

Seating was handed down from the Antrim County courthouse as well as some old church pews also stand here beside original seating from Boyne Mountain lodge.
