Mile Markers: Jason Crabb Hillsboro, Ohio 2/10/23

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in from the home front. Thanks for stopping by to visit. I hope your weekend is off to a good start already.

I mentioned here in this post that I was able to attend a Jason Crabb last Saturday. Seeing one of my favorite singers live is always a good day. 2015 was the last time that I had been to a Jason Crabb concert. Click here to read about that night.

I always check the concert schedule to see if anyone is going to be in my area, wherever that may be. I like using the Bandsintown app. I have it set to alert me when there is a concert of my favorite groups near me.

Soon after I got home this time, I received a Bandsintown notification. I was thrilled to see Jason Crabb was going to be near me! When I read the church's name, Hillsboro Church of the Nazarene, I expected it to be on Sunday night. Then I checked the date, and low and behold, it was on a Saturday.

Then it was time to investigate and get more details about the evening. I found the concert was free and open to the public. I was excited! First, I contacted my family in Hillsboro, and their schedules did not allow them to go.

I put out a few feelers to see if anyone was interested in joining me from my area. Plans were solidified a couple days ahead of time. Bro. Rick, Sis. Stephanie and Tim Stansell allowed me to tag along with them. We were excited and ready for a great night.

We arrived at the church shortly after the doors opened. Already, the crowd had filled the building almost to capacity. The excitement for the evening was building. A kind gentleman helped us locate great seats for the 4 of us.

There ended up being 11 people that we knew there that night. We were scattered in 4 different spots. When the concert started, there was standing room only. I heard that some people were unable to get in,

Here are a few shots while we waited for go time.

The concert had been a last-minute addition to the Church's events schedule. The They were thrilled with the turnout.

The people that attend Hillsboro Church of the Nazarene were super friendly, welcoming and accommodating! They did a fantastic job hosting the event! I will l definitely attend a concert there if it works out again.

The Pastor welcomed us and started the evening with prayer.

Comedian Micky Bell was also on the ticket that night. It was my first time hearing him. He was a funny guy. We will be laughing at some of his material for a while.

Then it was time for the main event, Jason Crabb. Every song was so good. It is hard to pick a favorite moment. I enjoyed it all so much!

Then Jason surprised us by calling his daughter Ashleigh to the stage.

They sang a duet together.

Then Ashleigh sang another song by herself. She is a very talented young lady! It was great to see her with her dad that night. You could definitely tell Jason was proud to have her on stage with him.

Mickey Bell came out for some more comedy and serious moments.

A highlight of the evening for everyone was when Jason grabbed the acoustic guitar and sang a few Crabb Family favorites! I could have listened to that all evening!
