RV catches fire
On Saturday night August 29, we had left a concert in the Harrisburg area and were traveling toward State College, PA at about 11:30pm. We were traveling up a mountain and we started to smell something unusually hot. There was a pop and with in a minute Scott, who was driving, realized we where losing all driving ability. He had no breaks, or steering, we know God got us off the road. When the RV stopped, the front of the camper filled quickly with smoke and we hurried to get out. We all got out safely, then the guys, Scott and Jeff and 2 guys who stopped to help, began going back into the camper to throw water onto the engine. The fire was out till the fireman got to the scene but they where very kind and got the kids, Fawn, Margaret and Lori to a rest stop until the tow truck and Harry could come get us. We are still awaiting the insurance to see if the camper is a total loss but God has a plan and we will continue.

Labor Day Weekend
Have you been to an OX Roast? We had a great time for the 8th year at the Quincy OX Roast. We had some very special guests with us on Monday.Margaret brought 7 of her sisters to sing with, it had been 40 years since they sang as a group except for their mom's funeral. Micah, Scott and Fawn's younger brother, also joined the fun for about 20 min while they sang from the families earlier recordings . We also had a guest piano player for the day, Brad Whiteknight. He and his wife Janna, are from Dover ,DE. We asked him to help us out for the day. He did a great job as usual.
If you had a chance to see the family there, let us know what you thought. We will hopefully have some video clips up in the following days.
Welcome!
Glad you decided to drop by the Bumbaugh Buzz page! We'll be adding LOTS of new things soon, so check back often!
May / June Update
Wow, how the months pass by. We have had some great times over the past 2 months. The family finished the music and vocals on the new project and it is now in the hands of the producer and graphic designer. It will probably be late August till it's release but we are very excited about the songs.
We've had an eventfull May and June. Kelsey had a birthday in May and is now our BIG eight year old. Margaret and Jeff had birthday's in June and Jeff and Fawn celebrated their 23rd anniversary on the road. Sharon also graduated high School and has been accepted at a college in PA. I'm not sure how much more we could have packed into these months.
We ended June with an exciting concert. We actually sang in the rain. A picnic for the Free Grace BIC church, unfortunatlly,turned to rain so the family sang under a canopy while the people sat under a pavillion. Scott said he's never had such a captive audience(literally). I think that a great time was had by all in spite of the rain. Of course, the rain stopped after the concert.
The whole family is anticipating a Beach trip in July to Ocean City, MD. (We will be the pail people by the water).
Be imitators of God , therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2
March / April Update
We have been busy traveling over the past month and a half. In March we were with some wonderful churches in NJ. Then we took off and traveled to Pigeon Forge, TN for the SGM Fan Fair. The family sang Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. There are a lot of wonderful groups who participate in the Fan Fair. We enjoyed meeting SG groups from all over.
On returning from TN, we enjoyed a evening of great food and music at the PSGMA Dinner Concert in Greencastle, PA.
The big news in April is that we are working on the newest CD. The gang was back in TN to work on the music with our producer, Kevin Ward, right before Easter. We are very excited about this new project ,unfortunately it takes months to get a CD completed. Keep checking back on the news page for updates.
