There are very few, if any, pursuits more beneficial than finding a cure for
cancer. Cancer touches all our lives in many personal ways, but the
dedication of a few changes the lives of many.
It is through the generous spirit of the community that the Hutchinson Oil
Patch Extravaganza (HOPE) has been the extraordinary success it has for the
last 23 years. We ask you to join us as a HOPE 2011 Underwriter and
continue the winning battle against cancer.
24st Anniversary
Hutchinson Oil Patch Extravaganza
September 24, 2011
Fiesta de la HOPE
Crutch Ranch
Without the contributions of our Underwriters, this important, annual
community event would not be possible. Although this is an occasion that a
very large portion of the community enjoys annually, let us not forget the true
meaning and mission of our cause:
American Cancer Society
A community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating
cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, through research,
education, advocacy, and service.
Once again, our goal is to have the entire event underwritten. The packages
are designed to appeal to a wide range of businesses and individuals. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to call (806) 367-3517. Thank you
in advance for your continued support of the American Cancer Society’s
mission.

HEADLINE ENTERTAINER
AARON WATSON
$25.000
It’s no secret that Texas has always had its own kind of music and its own kind of music
business to go along with it. But even by the wide-open standards of the Lone Star State,
the ongoing career and success of Aaron Watson are something else. With an uncanny
knack for mixing great songs and unforgettable performances with good, old-fashioned
business savvy, Watson has grown – night-by-night, fan-by-fan, album-by-album, one
honky-tonk stage at a time into an unstoppable force in Texas music with his sights firmly
set on the national stage.
With the April 1st release of Angels and outlaws – his eighth under his own independent
banner, Big Label Records – the Abilene-based artist steps up to the plate and knocks it
out of the park with a career-defining collection of 15 pure-country songs that celebrate his
deep roadhouse roots and push his music into some intriguing new corners. To Watson,
the album represents a creative career high. To everyone within hearing distance, Angels &
Outlaws represents the freshest musical breeze to blow out of Texas in a long, long time.
“My biggest fear when I record an album is that it’s the same all the way through,” Watson
says. “It’s very important for me to throw in some curve balls and some sliders. Pitchers
love to throw the fastball, but you’ve got to throw in some changeups once in a while for
those fastballs to be effective.”
You’ll have to forgive the baseball allusions. Growing up in Amarillo, long before he’d
ever picked up a guitar or written a song, the national pastime was the focus of young
Watson’s life.
“If you had asked me back then what I was going to be, I would have said, “Short stop for
the Houston Astros,” he laughs. “Then I woke up one day and realized I was the most
incredibly average player on the face of God’s green earth. But I got a long way on work
ethic and fundamentals. Baseball is so much like life.”
While father and son bonded on the baseball diamond, his Dad’s record collection –
where artists like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings shared space with
the Beach Boys and the Beatles – provided a constant soundtrack to Watson’s life.
8
“My dad has an incredible record collection, and I got a lot of different flavors,” Watson
says. “I guess you can say that he brainwashed me. He surely had a heavy influence on the
kind of music I was listening to, but when we were at church on Sunday morning it was
Mom always encouraging me to get out the songbook and sing.”
Watson didn’t heed his mom’s advice until college, when an injury ended his baseball
dreams. Actually, the seeds of his future life had been planted a couple of years earlier
when, through a friend, Watson scored front-of-the-house seats for one of Garth Brooks’
legendary sold out shows at Texas Stadium.
“Those four nights in Irving were the shows where Garth solidified that he was the man,”
Watson says. “That was a heck of a show for me to see right off the bat. In fact, the guy
who promoted those show, Glen Smith, is promoting shows for me now.”
That event, and subsequent Clay Walker concert, had a profound effect on the former
ballplayer. These days, onstage and in the studio, Watson deftly combines Walker’s easy
way with a song with Brooks’ live intensity ( not to mention his business acumen).
“To this day, one of my favorite country records is Clay Walker’s Hypnotize the Moon,”
Watson says. “That was when I started to write songs. I was reading the lyrics inside CDs
and listening to all the clever twists in the songwriting.”
Attending Abilene Christian University, Watson enrolled in a beginner guitar class. His
teacher, Dan Mitchell, would have a major influence on the young sing/songwriter and was
the first of many mentors to “appear” in Watson’s life.
“I walk into this classroom and it’s just me and this old man,” Watson recalls. “If there
ever was a guitar player who could play like Chet Atkins, it’s Dan Mitchell. We just
bonded and became good friends. All the students love him at ACU, and I give him a lot
of credit.”
Armed with the fundamentals, Watson was experimenting with songwriting when another
teacher appeared, this time at a local coffee shop.
“I’m sitting there and this guy walks in with these blue ostrich boots on, and it was Larry
Gatlin,” Watson says. “meeting him as a big moment that got me going in the right
direction.”
The outgoing Watson struck up a conversation with the country star and was offered
backstage passes for Gatlin’s performance that night. After the show, the pair discussed
songwriting and struck up a friendship.
“He would talk about being descriptive and painting a picture in somebody’s mind in two
and a half minutes,” Watson says. “I listened to everything he said and it really made a
difference. Some people believe in coincidence, but when you look at all the doors that
have opened for me, this is not a coincidence.”
9
Watson put his first band together and was playing gigs on campus and around the region
when he came to the attention of Dr. Neal Lowry, a local physician and part-time
songwriter. Lowry became Watson’s co-writer and an important force in the singer’s
growing career, financing his debut release, help9ing to keep his show on the road, and
even assisting in the birth of Watson’s two sons.
With two albums and a few years of had touring under his belt, Watson released his third
album, Shut Up & Dance. After a slow start, the debut single from the album, “Off the
Record,” took off at Texas radio. Watson and band soon moved from cramped van to
roomy tour bus and started playing for sellout crowds all over the southwest. For his next
release, 2004’s The Honky Tonk Kid, Watson hooked up with veteran producer and
Asleep at the Wheel leader Ray Benson. That album spawned another hit single,
“Reckless,” and Watson followed up quickly with the 2005 concert recording, Live at the
Texas Hall of Fame. His next release, San Angelo, also produced by Benson, debuted at
No. 60 on the Billboard chart and continued Watson’s career momentum and impressive
album sales.
“Angels & Outlaws kicks off with “Tulsa,” a revved-up and re-tooled Waylon Jennings
chestnut, and closes with “That’s What I like About a Country Song.” A classic Lone Starshuffle throwdown with co-producer Benson and fellow Texas troubadours Jack Ingram,
Kevin Fowler and Roger Creager joining in. In between are some of Watson’s finest songs,
carved from stages and well-worn dance floors across the southwest. From the title song,
inspired by the legendary love affair of Johnny Cash and June Carter, to the shotgun
sentiment of “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee,” to an out-of-left-field, fiddle-drenched
cover of John Mayer’s “The Heart of Life,” Angels & Outlaws celebrated Watson’s allAmerican artistry as well as his stubborn independent streak.
“In the beginning we were worked hard to try to land that big record deal,” Watson says.
“Now I’m selling enough records and tickets that it would have to be one heck of a deal for
me to even take a look at it. I’m a businessman and a family man, and I’d much rather
have money over fame. I figure that if we keep doing it my way, working hard. Taking care
of our fans and treating them like friends and family that the fame will come along. Instead
of taking an elevator that shoots straight to the top, we’re taking the stairs.”
While the record business desperately tries to fix its own elevator, you’ll find Aaron
Watson out on the road – with an expanding touring schedule that includes stops in
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and New Mexico – doing what he does best,
playing timeless country music, selling thousands of records and truckloads of
merchandise, and shaking the hands of those friends and fans night after night.
“The good Lord’s really blessed me,” he says. “From my management to my bookings to
the 10 phenomenal guys I’ve got out on the road, its crazy how the pieces have just fallen
together. It’s been a neat experience.”

RESTRICTED GIFT
Patient Transportation Program
2,500 or $ 10,000
10,000
HOPE provides an exciting venue to benefit the American Cancer Society. This
underwriting package is used as “seed” money for the HOPE 2011 Restricted Gift.
Those diagnosed with cancer face many medical, physical, and emotional issues
surrounding the disease. The medical aspect is daunting and can mean hundreds of trips
to doctors, specialists, hospitals, labs and treatments.
Compliance with their treatment schedule is critical to a patient’s survival. This presents
a serious challenge for patients who lack the human and/or financial resources to find
transportation to and from their treatment, including some who are too weak to drive after
treatment. This dilemma is further complicated when doctor and/or insurance company
referrals, or special care requirements force patients to travel outside of their geographic
area for treatment.
Stress and anxiety over treatment issues, such as transportation, can cause survivors to
abandon their treatment before it is finished, potentially at the cost of their life. It is
especially important to consider factors of geographic location, income, culture, health,
disability and employment status that may affect the transportation needs of the cancer
patients we serve.
Our Patient Transportation Program provides a combination of community resource
referral, trained Road to Recovery volunteer drivers where available, and if necessary and
available, direct financial aid for gasoline costs or commercial transportation
reimbursement. This ensures patients receive their lifesaving treatments and eases the
burden of cancer in a very practical and tangible way.

Reach to Recovery - for more than 30 years, the American Cancer Society Reach to Recovery program has
helped people (female and male) cope with their breast cancer experience. This experience begins when someone
is faced with the possibility of a breast cancer diagnosis and continues through the entire period that breast cancer
remains a concern. A breast cancer survivor meets one-on-one with a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient to
help them through the journey. Reach to Recovery volunteers offer understanding, support, and hope because
they themselves have survived breast cancer and gone on to live normal, productive lives.

and participating local hotels and based on their availability at the time the service is requested.

Society. The equipment provider will bill all third-party insurance including Medicare. The ACS equipment

security number.
