Watson & District Heritage Museum House Concert – March 13, 2026
On Friday, March 13, 2026, the Watson & District Heritage Museum was pleased to host a memorable House Concert. The evening opened with a performance by Acey Lonsberry, setting the stage for an engaging night of music. The headline act was delivered by Mike Plume, whose set captivated the audience and contributed to the event’s overall success.

We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to Jim and Jodi Haussecker for their outstanding commitment and leadership in coordinating every detail of the House Concert. Their responsibilities spanned the full range of event planning, including booking entertainment, managing the event’s staging, ensuring the venue was available, organizing accommodations for the performers, promoting the concert, and handling ticket sales. Their dedication was integral to the event’s smooth ex*****on.
We are also grateful to all who attended the concert. Your participation made the evening truly special. We hope that everyone—both the artists and the audience—found the event to be an enjoyable and memorable experience. Music has the unique ability to bring people together, creating lasting moments for performers and listeners alike.

Thank you everyone!
Judy S.
