Country music recording artist Sunny Sweeney and Trenton resident Salem Croy drew a crowd of approximately 300 attendees to the first ever Leadership Northwest Music Jam on Saturday, Sept. 25 at Black Silo Winery.
All ticket proceeds benefited the Leadership Northwest Missouri program and raised $9,881 for the organization.
“I hope the Music Jam becomes an annual event”, said Dr. Kristen Alley, LNWMO Board of Directors. “It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with Leadership Northwest alumni, enjoy some good food and listen to fantastic music with great friends. Sunny and Salem were incredible, the weather was perfect and the fellowship was exceptional. It was great to see a variety of people, young and old, socializing and having such an enjoyable evening. This is what makes our local, small communities so special. Our newest alumni did a fabulous job organizing this event. They set the bar high for future classes and really demonstrated why we call our part of Missouri the Great Northwest!”
