Last year, we did our two year recap mid-December, which is appropriate since that’s around the time Fun DMC got started way back when.  However, as today is Thanksgiving, it seemed appropriate to push this up a month and compile the list of everyone we have been thankful for on this crazy musical journey.  We’ve had a great year so far, with hitting our 100th show milestone, a crazy amount of weddings and private events, some road trips, and we have an even bigger and better 2017 coming up.

So, as Fun DMC rounds the three-year mark, there is a long list of people who supported us and allowed us to be doing what we’re doing every week.  Without any particular order, and knowing that we’re missing a few people, we’d like to thank from the bottom of our hearts:

• Paige Martin, Brian Armstrong, Aaron Eversole, Jen Dowell, Sam Davis, and Lyndsay Bolsen
• Callie Stanley, Laura Reynolds, Julie Armstrong, Jenny Eversole, and Chad Kamerad
