Janice and Mike Hamelburg, New Yorkers transplanted to Nashville, enjoy going to the many country music venues, especially when you can see a favorite entertainer like Wade Hayes. Here they are after the "Fiddlin, Brewin', and BBQ-ing" show.

Barbara Giles from Winchester, Virginia, with Wade at the Opryland pavilion for the "Fiddlin, Brewin', and BBQ-ing" show. Barbara says, "Getting to see Wade again, was absolutely breathtaking. It was nice to get to actually talk to him and ask a few questions." Click on the pic to see pictures taken before and after the show.

From Christina Wasson, "I'm a soldier in the US Army and I got to see Wade Hayes in Harker Heights, TX. That was the best concert I've been to in a while...hope he comes back to Texas again!! Love to see him! Thanks so much for a wonderful concert!!!"

Arline Birsner with Wade at Dutchess County Fair in New York State summer of 2002. Arline says, "He was just so sweet. This was my second time seeing Wade in person. He had played at a club by my house in Long Island, NY. He puts on an amazing show! I'm pretty sure I was the first one on line to get my picture with him. My year was made. We miss you Wade, please come back to New York!!!!!!!!!!"

The route from Florida to Iowa may be a long one, but if you can stop over in Nashville to see a favorite entertainer, you count smiles - not miles. Ask Linda Geerdes.

If you went cruisin' in October 2005, then you recognize "our Nancy," tour director with the "mostest." She sure knows how to pick entertainers! In every way, she made the cruisin' experience a delight.

Lori Cheesman, North Carolina, hit the jackpot when she won the Country Cruise give-away package from radio station WSOC. She invited her favorite concert-buddy aunt - Mary Scafaro - to share the prize. A long time fan, she wore her autographed McHayes shirt to Wade's shipboard meet and greet.

Mary Scafaro, Florida, was a big winner, too when her niece, Lori, shared her prize with her. Formal night on the ship was a fun time and the opportunity for some special pictures.

"What a wonderful day! My birthday and first thing, we saw Wade at breakfast. Shortly thereafter, we went out on the sundeck to relax and he stopped by for a chat, shirtless no less! Then at the Meet/Greet, he sang Happy Birthday to me. ... more>

"This picture taken on August 27, 2005 at Judge Beans BBQ where a rousing good time was had by all, especially this fan, whose photo is taken with Wade. Wade still has that unmistakeable sound, that Country music radio and new artists just don't have. I sincerely love Wade, have since I first met him in 1995/96 and continue to go to all nearby shows."

The "Iowa Gang" (Sheryl W., Jean W., Vic P., and Trish F.) has never missed a fan party, and they've seen Wade perform in nearly every state in the union.

Wow! What an exciting time at Fan Fair!

Wade is such a great guy - I can't wait to Cruise the Caribbean with him in October!
