JEFF & SHERI EASTER ARRIVING IN SOUTHERN INDIANA

Strawberry Festival & Gospel Homecoming Singing
To benefit Highway 62 Project Hero for the Elderly

Hardinsburg, KY – March 3, 2025 – On May 17, 2025, Dove Award Winning Jeff & Sheri Easter will be performing at the 2025 Strawberry Festival and Gospel Concert series benefiting The Highway 62 Project Hero 62 mission.

1.5 million older adults live in nursing homes and 1 million live in assisted living facilities. Approximately 76 million elderly  (27 %), 60 and above live alone. These are the generations that cherish traditional Gospel music. Many don’t have the means to get to a live concert. Frankly, many don’t have the means, or family support to help with a full quality of life. They depend on food banks. They depend on social services.

This is why we now operate Highway 62 Project Hero 62. Meeting Community Needs! With the assistance of tireless volunteers, we organize fundraisers to allow us to raise money to purchase and distribute items that make their quality of life better. With the generosity of our corporate and individual sponsors we work year round to collect clothing, birthday and Christmas Gift, inspirational reading materials and music and to personally deliver these items.

On Saturday May 17, 2025, Highway 62 Jubilee, along with Schwartz Family Restaurant, is producing their 3^rd annual family friendly spring event “Strawberry Festival & Gospel Homecoming Singing” to help fund Project Hero 62.

It is Strawberry Season – Bring the Family For U-Pick Strawberries! During the day and into the evening, 6 popular Gospel groups will be singing at the outdoor stage. You will be treated to a full day of music, Headlined by Jeff and Sheri Easter.

There will be silent auctions and activities for the kids. The Strawberry Festival & Gospel Homecoming Singing is our fundraiser for Project Hero—Senior Community Assistance Programs.

FREE ADMISSION – A donation at the gate of $20 for Highway 62 Project Hero is appreciated. Love Offerings will also be taken.

When: Saturday May 17, 2025. Starts at 11:30am and runs all day.
Where: Schwartz’s Family Restaurant Festival Grounds, 6738 W Governors Trace Eckerty Indiana.

Highway 62 Jubilee Music News Updates February 24 2024

It is time to share the news and updates from the Highway 62 organization.

2023 found us with less public concerts, a little bit of heartbreak and some amazing miracles. We have been blessed to have the resources available to us to reach out and meet needs for those who live with no immediate family or lifelong friends around them. Clothing, books, music, birthday and holiday gifts, and more.

Last year (2023), we distributed over 430 birthday and Christmas Gifts. We raised over $2600.00 for gifts, travel expenses,etc. This included over $1300 raised at our 1st annual Homecoming Gospel Festival! As an added bonus, our good friends at Les Masters Bands reached out to help make the residents of an Ohio Nursing Home, who were basically all alone on Christmas. Project Hero was able to join in to make their Holiday one to remember!

We ran out of room! Thanks to the many donations we received, we outgrew our small storage area, and had to upsize. We could still use 3- 5 tier 48″ shelves to get everything organized. Many unloaded boxes of gifts waiting to be distributed.

I would personally like to thank each and every group, and all individual members of each group for the time and testimony they have brought to the Highway 62 Jubilee and shared with hundreds through our concerts. In 2024, we want to be in a better position to help financially, in order to continue to make the music available.
My final thought. 2023 was a big test of faith. We have yet to know why in April last year FaceBook shut us down with no explanation and no recourse. People who made commitments, disappeared with no answers as to why. That is something that God has taught me. He calls us to service. To use our gifts and talents for His Kingdom. We have to let the Lord lead. We have to listen to His guidance. We hear His Voice through the Bible, the Word of God. He warns us about pride, and sadly we see so many that if the ministry doesn’t fit into their perceived thoughts or dreams, then they just walk away if it isn’t a million dollar ministry. Myself, Highway 62 Jubilee and Project Hero 62 is here to serve, one soul at a time. To share the Gospel of Jesus. In our case, the specific mission remains the same: Harnessing the power of Gospel music, the Highway 62 Jubilee mission is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the elderly with clothing, books, music, food, birthday and holiday recognition while preserving the heritage of the gospel music a forgotten generation grew up with.

What is in store for 2024? Our Online eBay Yard Sale and individual donations from friends such as you, keep our simple basic expenses paid. Praise God for that! We’ll have our 2nd annual Strawberry Festival and Gospel Homecoming Singing on May 25th. And continue to find the seniors who have no-one that cares any more. Excited to be lining up a multi-county commitment with an agency that has the volunteers who go into the homes of these folks, to be able to reach more. Keep 2024 in prayer for us.

Highway 62 Jubilee Music News Updates February 14 2023

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you feel like you are pulled in all directions? Yes, me too. I’ve spent restless nights grappling with God. And then BOOM! This happens. On February 8th, a chapel service in Wilmore Kentucky has, and is, experiencing the quiet, reverent presence of God and the Holy Spirit. I’ve been to Wilmore. I know folks there. I encourage you to read about this revival that is spreading across many states, and to many colleges! (Read Here).

With that, it’s time to share the news and updates from the Highway 62 organization.

While we make plans and seek guidance for the 2023 season, we find the real calling is in serving others. Our audiences are of an older generation for the most part. Many of those want to be at the live concerts, but live alone, with no family to see to them. We have been blessed to have the resources available to us to reach out and meet needs for them. Clothing, books, music, birthday and holiday gifts, and more.

I have been led to approach this in a small way, and the door has been opened. On Wednesday March 15th, we will be at The Central KY Community Action Center during their monthly senior food pantry day. CAC is providing us with a list of March birthdays of seniors in their system. We will be sharing birthday gifts, books and Highway 62 Jubilee CD’s. After weeks of planning, this will be our first step getting out into the communities.

There’s more news, which I will send out in an email or two between now and Sunday. We kick off our End Of Winter fund raising, and are deep in planning our all day Outdoor Gospel Music Festival in May. Resuming broadcasts in March, which will also include some streaming messages from pastors around the area. Stay Tuned!
