RAM Trucks presents the Invitation-Only Fund Raiser ‘Road to the RAM® JAM’

“Road to the Ram® Jam,” is an all-star country music series featuring five of today’s best country artists leading up to an invitation-only 2012 Ram Jam concert event December 29th in Nashville, Tenn., where all five artists will perform.

• BNA recording artist Kellie Pickler launched the series. She is offering fans a chance to win a free download of her latest single “Tough” when they enter to win a trip for two to the Ram Jam concert. Fans can check out behind-the-scenes video footage of Kellie in her Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn as she discusses her love for trucks, her new album 100 Proof, and how she continues to show support for our troops with help from the USO. Kellie has chosen the USO (USO.org) and their services that support wounded, ill and injured warriors as the charity to receive proceeds from the auction of her Longhorn truck in 2013.

• The remaining four participating artists will be announced throughout the year. All five artists will receive a one year lease on a 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn truck. The trucks will then be auctioned off in early 2013 with all proceeds going to benefit a military-focused charity of each artist’s choice.

Happy Trails to You!

Raised Country Tips its Hat Goodbye

Mike and Liz Strong

Mike and Liz Strong

I started “Raised Country!” in 2009 during the first extended period of unemployment I had ever experienced. This blog helped me keep my sanity when I could not find any work in my field of 35 years.

In spite of my white hair, by God’s grace, opportunities began to materialize and I have been gainfully employed for the last two years, and now, I need to devote my time to other things.

Raised Country has been visited by tens of thousands of people from all over the world. This has exceeded all of my expectations.  Still, it’s daily visitation levels are fairly low (about 50 to 100 visitors a day).  Given the tepid interest in the site and my having less time to give to it, I have decided to retire the site.

I may leave it on the air indefinitely, but my contributions to it (which have been mostly press release filler), will slow to a trickle or stop altogether.

My original vision for this blog site was to accumulate great, heart felt or fun “roots” stories from anyone with a memorable story to tell. We even had a Raised Country! Radio Spot that aired for awhile in 2010.

Good stories and tall tales are hard to get now. Indeed, one of the wonderful things about the Internet is that it frees everyone to put up their own blog. You don’t need to piggy back on anyone else’s. :)  If, however, you still want to submit your tall tale, I will always enjoy getting more stories to share.  Just click on the “Tell Your Tall Tale” link above.

This has been cathartic and fun, and I thank all who have visited this site. I hope you found some enjoyment or benefit from it.

God bless you.

Regards,
Mike & Liz Strong
