Country Music Star Will Appear Saturday, April 21

SUN ’N FUN CAMPUS, LAKELAND, Fla. – (March 28, 2007) – Country music star Aaron Tippin, who is also a pilot and longtime aviation enthusiast, will feel right at home when he performs in concert at this year’s Sun ’n Fun Fly-In. Tippin will perform on Saturday, April 21 at 7 p.m. – right in the middle of the Fly-In, which will take place April 17 – 23 at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport.

The concert is included in Sun ‘n Fun’s daily admission price, which is half-price for Florida residents and military personnel with a current ID card on Saturday, April 21, and Sunday, April 22.

“Sun ‘n Fun is really excited about having Aaron Tippin here at Sun ‘n Fun,” said Sun ‘n Fun President and Fly-In Chairman John Burton. “The concert is a first for Sun ‘n Fun and, combined with the reduced admission for Florida residents on the weekend, should provide a great reason for those folks who may not have participated in the Fly-In yet to join us for a great concert that is part of a great event.”

Aaron Tippin is a strong supporter of American military forces around the world and was the first singer to entertain troops in the Middle East during the first Gulf War in the early 1990s. In 2002, he wrote “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly” and went to Afghanistan to perform for American troops there. Since 2003, Tippin has been making annual trips to entertain American forces in Iraq and has become the spokesman for the Paralyzed Veterans of America. In 2005, he was the first country artist to donate funds to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

“When I’d sing ‘Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,’ I started sending five-gallon buckets out into the crowd that said, ‘Katrina’ on them,” Tippin said of his personal hurricane relief program. “People just poured out of the stands. I get all choked up watching that. I recorded the song right after 9-11, but it’s not about 9-11. It’s about Katrina. And the next time it will be about whatever catastrophe we Americans have to deal with. I wrote it to represent a feeling that we can always come back to: Be proud to be an American. That’s what’s most important when the chips are down.”

Tippin will perform at Sun ‘n Fun on Saturday, April 21, in the heart of the Fly-In’s outdoor aircraft display area. The concert begins at 7 p.m. and is included in the price of Saturday’s daily admission fee. The Main Admission gates will remain open until 8 p.m. that day only. In order to receive the half-price discount, Florida residents and military personnel must present valid photo identification. The discount is limited to immediate family members and is non-transferable.

“The fans are truly amazing,” Tippin concluded. “They’re the reason I still have a job. I’m a very lucky man. I’ve been fortunate enough to have written some songs that have had an impact on some people. After all the years of doing this, what means most of all to me is to have written a song and hearing people say, ‘Hey man, that’s neat.’”

Sun ‘n Fun, a 501(c)(3) not–for–profit organization based in Lakeland, Florida, is best known for its annual Fly–In held each April. The event draws more than 160,000 people and 4,000 aircraft to Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, creating an economic impact exceeding $27 million in Lakeland and Polk County. The Fly–In is the primary source of funding for Sun ‘n Fun’s expanding year–round aviation education programs. These include operation of the Florida Air Museum, the state’s “Official Aviation Museum and Education Center,” which is also supported through grants from the Division of Historical Resources and Division of Cultural Affairs, Florida Department of State.

In addition, Sun ‘n Fun has initiated education programs for aviation enthusiasts of all ages – especially young people – featuring valuable “hands on” learning experiences. A growing scholarship program provides financial support to ensure Sun ‘n Fun’s education programs are accessible to all.

SUN ’N FUN RAMPS UP FOR APRIL 17 OPENING
SUN ‘N FUN CAMPUS, LAKELAND, Fl. – (March 21, 2007) – Every April, tens of thousands of aviation enthusiasts “take off” to Lakeland, Florida, for the annual Sun ’n Fun Fly-In. Sun ‘n Fun is a week-long aviation extravaganza that is the second largest aviation event of its type in the world.

This year’s Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In will be held April 17-23 at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport. Its 2007 theme - “Living the Dream” – will be featured throughout the Fly-In’s various programs and events. They include a daily air show featuring the world’s premier aerobatic performers; more than 500 commercial exhibitors; a Friday night air show that concludes with a spectacular fireworks display; other evening programs and entertainment; admission to the Florida Air Museum – Florida’s “official aviation museum and education center”; kids activities; and nearly 450 educational forums, seminars and workshops led by recognized experts in a variety of aviation-related fields.

Sun ‘n Fun is recognized as the largest festival in the state of Florida, generating more that 35,000 hotel room nights and creating an economic impact in Polk County of nearly $30 million.

As in years past, education is the core around which all other activities are built. Sun ‘n Fun’s educational forums and hands-on workshops offer pilots, aircraft owners and future aviators an opportunity to learn critically important information on the basics of aircraft design, construction, maintenance and restoration.

“Education is the hub around which the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-in is built,” said Sun ‘n Fun President and Fly-In Chairman John Burton. “The enthusiastic exchange of information between exhibitors, participants and aircraft owners – plus the educational activities offered by the Federal Aviation Administration through their year-round facility here on the Sun ‘n Fun campus - combine to create an unsurpassed aviation experience.”

This year, three big events will combine to make 2007 the best year ever. First, Sun ‘n Fun has opened the flightline (where all the airplanes are parked) to all Fly-In guests. Previously, the flightline area was restricted to pilots or members of the Florida Air Museum (FAM) or the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Second, Florida residents and active duty military will be admitted to the Fly-In for half price on Saturday, April 21, and Sunday, April 22. Third, country music star Aaron Tippin will perform in concert Saturday, April 21 at 7:00 p.m.

“All three of these will combine to introduce our guests – especially those from Lakeland and Polk County - an unforgettable and affordable aviation experience,” said John Burton, Sun ’n Fun’s President and Convention Chairman. “That is part of our mission: to introduce people of all ages to aviation and we believe our new Flightline policy will help accomplish that. We invite all of our guests to experience firsthand the amazing aircraft on display that span virtually every chapter of aviation history. The discounted weekend admission rate makes it more affordable than ever. And the Aaron Tippin concert appeals to people of all ages and interests. When you combine all this with everything else Sun ‘n Fun offers throughout the week of the Fly-In, you won’t want to miss being part of all the action.”

The airshow performer lineup includes aerobatic performers such as the AeroShell team, Red Barons Pizza squadron, Patty Wagstaff, John Mohr, Bill Stein, and many more, who will dazzle guests during the daily airshow that begins at 2:00 p.m. An additional show on Friday night beginning at dusk features incredible pyrotechnics routines, and will be followed by fireworks to round out the evening. In addition, anticipated weekend performances by military jet-teams demonstrating the A-10 “Warthog” and F-18 Super Hornet will impress even the most experienced Sun ’n Fun attendees. Military static display aircraft includes: F-16’s, a KC-135, C-130H, T-45’s, A-10’s, and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) AC Shrike Commander as well as a scheduled fly-by by both the B-1B and the B-2 “Stealth” bombers.

Approximately 160,000 people participate in the seven-day event, which traditionally heralds the start of the aviation year.

First I just have to say "Thank You Mom!" And I say it with a smile because this time she put something in my hand called MonaVie that I could really understand. When translated it means "Tree of Life" and this is right up my alley. For those of you who already know Brenda and I, you know that we are avid gardeners and have been growing our own herbs and vegetables now for many years. We've been striving to take care of ourselves from the inside out in the most natural way possible.

Mona-Vie is quite simply the most remarkable nutritional super-fruit beverage, or juice cocktail if you will. And these guys are doing many great things with their company. I mean really good things. First of all, you need to know that the primary ingredient or the crown jewel in their juice (they call it a "beverage") is the recently discovered acai (ah-SIGH-ee) berry found in the high tops of palm trees found only in the Amazon jungles of South America.

I'm going to write a whole lot more about the science and stuff involved later, but for now I’ll make a long story short, which is generally against my nature. Let me just put it this way… scientist and researchers from Monarch Health Sciences formulated a highly effective blend of 19 of the world’s most renowned super-fruits from around the globe. I’ll list them once and then we can focus on the rest of the story. They are acai berry, pomegranate, white grape, nashi pear, acerola, pear, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, banana, apricot, prune, kiwi, blueberry, bilberry, camu camu, wolfberry, and lychee. Scientifically selected and blended for their specific known benefits.

The MonaVie juice is great. I’ve been taking it for three weeks now and I’ve been amazed at how much better I feel. I’m sleeping better, my nagging lower back pain went away. That’s another story. And even though nobody really knows it, I had been suffering from some mild arthritis and joint pain in my hands and knees. Not any more! Brenda has been feeling equally as good and her constantly aching post-surgery shoulder no longer aches! God’s honest truth! Mom just recently put my dad on the juice and when I saw him over Thanksgiving, I was truly amazed at how much better my dad was feeling. Just over a month ago, my dad had not spent more than and hour a day out of bed and recently underwent radiation therapy for some spots found on his lungs. He’s been suffering with chronic emphysema now for over a year and has also been really depressed. We really were not sure if he would even make it to our wedding just last month.

Phytonutrients and anti-oxidants are just a few of the pieces to the puzzle. The news, talk shows, and the press have been reporting the many huge benefits and properties of the acai berry for a few years now. The people of Brazil’s Northern Amazon region have long revered the berry as and antidote for numerous ailments. You can really get a great feel for this product and the company by viewing some of the videos available on the internet, and I’ll be happy to arrange a tasting for anyone who wants to give MonaVie a try.

It’s a product with a purpose! And it is one that extends beyond the wellness of their consumers. Because MonaVie’s roots lie deep within the Amazon, the health and wellness of the rain forests are very much linked to the quality and success of MonaVie. These guys are really giving back to the world by helping to preserve one of Mother Nature’s most precious resources, the Amazon Rain Forest. And not just the forests either. In fact, their M.O.R.E. project which stands for MonaVie’s Operation Rescue, is giving orphaned children of Brazil More Hope, More Caring, More Compassion, More Kindness and More Love.

The M.O.R.E. project is dedicated to helping Brazil’s needy and orphaned children with food, clothing, shelter and education. The non-profit M.O.R.E. Project has been making a real difference with the caring and support of the thousands of like-minded people. Every bottle of MonaVie results in more money to help give a child the hope, love and care needed to give them a chance in life. This company just has the right philosophy going on and I for one am just really excited about this product.

Okay, it’s getting late and I’m not going to start in on some big sales pitch. Go ahead and watch a video or two and you will get what I’m talking about. The juice is invaluable as far as I am concerned. It’s just really chocked full of the GOOD Stuff!

Oh yeah… we’ve recently created our own ministry called The Green Earth Ministries. This is yet another story, and a good one at that. Brenda and I have been talking about forming a non-profit organization that would give us some clear vision and a mission to embark on. With a foundation in natural living, spiritual growth and ecological conservation, I believe we can truly start making our own difference. Come join us sometime out here in the country so we can make a difference together.

Check out the Tree of Life, MonaVie style!
Love and Good Health to All,
Bruce & Brenda

I can't belive that so much time has passed since my last post. I've been quite the busy bee with starting up a global web company and at the same time trying to co-produce and market the Doug Houston Outdoors program here in sunny-hot Lower Alabama.

A lot has transpired in the past few months, and we are on the verge of some major evolution in the upcoming weeks. With great pleasure, I have added 5 key individuals to our organization and complete details of our impending launch will surface soon.

In the mean time, a NEW boat, or should I say yacht, has recently entered my life thanks to my good buddy Dave. Now if only we both had the time to dedicate to using this awesome 45' fishing and diving condo currently called GigaByte! More on the Hatteras later. Photos of our delivery trip from Destin, Florida to Dauphin Island, Alabama are already posted at the PlanetWebSite Photo Gallery. Check them out.

Well, it's getting late, so I'll sign off for now. Please keep up with our progress and we start breaking new ground here at PlanetWebSite, your connection to The Global Webisphere.
