The
2009 MOON &
STARS Award honors one in the entertainment field or the Media field
whose work has brought the outhouse to the public’s attention. The
2009 winner is WAYNE WESTERFIELD of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Wayne
Westerfield was responsible for gathering top musicians and
coordinating the 4 hour concert at the historic 1992 " GREAT OUTHOUSE
BLOWOUT" and privy dedication. World renowned guitarist CHET ATKINS
and singer, songwriter BILLY EDD WHEELER headlined the 4 hour concert
along with other Nashville notables, and Boyle County native Steve
Smothers and the LITTLE SOUTH BAND kept the show moving with
Westerfield's coordination. Knowledge from Westerfield's many years
as a musician and involvement in the entertainment field himself,
proved invaluable in making the historic event a success.

to extend a helping hand ... and she still is.
