Ryan Holladay house fire

Ryan HolladayWe got this note a short while ago from Penni McDaniel at Hope River Entertainment regarding teen-aged bluegrass multi-instrumentalist Ryan Holladay.

I just received a call from Mark and Lisa Holladay. Unfortunately their home caught fire yesterday, but the good news is Ryan and Hannah were at school and Lisa and Mark were at work so they all are fine. Hannah was excited to know their cat also survived.

But they have basically lost everything including all of their clothing, furniture, etc. The only thing save were their instruments (which were at the other end of the house) and also some family photos and videos. The insurance company has provided lodging for tonight only, so they will move in with family or friends tomorrow.

If anyone would like to send them a card or other, please send then to my office, and I’ll forward them along to Ryan and his family.
