Little Feat Friends,
Paul & Fred are scheduled for two shows, October 22 & 23 at the Wildwood Springs Lodge in Steelville, MO. We have stayed at the Wildwood several times in past years to see numerous artists, including the Pure Prairie League acoustic trio (featuring none other than Craig Lee Fuller), and Sam Bush (who appeared as a guest artist with the Feat recently in Jamaica)!
Modeled after a typical Adirondack Mountains inn, Wildwood opened in 1922, built by the elite, for the elite. The lodge is picturesquely situated high on a bluff overlooking the Meramec River and the rolling green valleys of the beautiful Ozarks. And if you've never experienced the colorful splendor of Autumn in the Ozarks, you are missing out on a sight to behold (as Arkansas Fred knows)!!!
The concerts are held in the lobby, where they pull up comfy leather sofas, rockers, & chairs in front of the big
stone fireplace. It's just like having the performers right in your own living room, with the cozy fire roaring in the
background. There is a bar right there, featuring mixed drinks, wine, and beer. They will even let you bring a
cooler filled with your own favorite beverage & keep it in your room. You can bring the drinks down to the concert, but don't bring the bottle. Dinner and breakfast, served European buffet style, are included in the package. The food is fabulous!!! Again, it's not fancy, but it's home-cooked and it's delicious!
The lodge has some relaxing activities, such as games, a pool (if it's not too cold by then), & hot tub. There are
lots of activities nearby, including a really nice golf course. There is also canoeing, rafting, a cave, a mill, and a winery close by, for those so inclined.
Visit the lodge's website for more information and some great photos of the place:
www.wildwoodspringslodge.comYou will also be able to view a floor plan of the room set-up (there are 3 different room package options). The
rooms for Saturday night are all booked, however there are still Saturday concert tickets available, and there
are some other motel accommodations in the area. There are still rooms available at the Wildwood for the
Friday night show. You can call the lodge at 1-800-554-3746, leave a message that you would like to book for
Little Feat, then they will return your call. Or you can book your tickets and/or rooms online.
This is a "must-be-there" for anyone who lives within driving distance of Steelville, MO. For example, it is only 6 hours from Chicago, 1.5 hours from St. Louis, plus it's only a few miles off I-44. And of course, flying in to St.
Louis is always an option for all you non-midwest people. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
If you know someone else who would like to attend, please forward this message to them.
We'll look forward to seeing y'all there! We'll be there both nights.
Jim & Darcy Fangman
