"It's a way of introducing some of our park staff to guests and visitors doing something we all enjoy immensely – singing and sharing music."
Other talented park employees performing include Lindsay Brown. Park guests will recognize Lindsey as a member of the front desk staff. She plays piano by ear and sings in a gospel and bluegrass style and also is a Summers County resident.
Assistant Superintendent Nathan Hanshaw has been writing and singing his songs for about five years. A current resident of Summers County, Hanshaw has written a song about West Virginia's statehood and will debut the "We Stand Not Ashamed" at the event. Hanshaw grew up in Nicholas County and has served at Carnifex Ferry, Panther Wildlife Management Area, and Twin Falls prior to his assignment at Pipestem Resort.
