Country music recording artist, Sunny Sweeney, and local Trenton resident, Salem Croy, drew a crowd of approximately 300 attendees to the first-ever Leadership Northwest Music Jam on Saturday night. All ticket proceeds benefited the Leadership Northwest Missouri program and raised $9,881 for the organization.
The show was hosted at Black Silo Winery in Trenton, Missouri on Saturday, September 25, 2021, with Smoked Iguana and 50 Grams Foods providing food trucks for meal options.
“I hope the Music Jam becomes an annual event. It was a wonderful opportunity to re-connect with Leadership Northwest alumni, enjoy some good food and listen to fantastic music with great friends,” says Dr. Kristen Alley, LNWMO Board of Directors. She adds, “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.”
