In Memorium
 Steve Lawrence
It is with great sadness that we must report the recent
passing on June 18, 2008
of one of our favorite stage announcers, Steve Lawrence. Steve had been one of our regular announcers
from the very first Big Horn Mountain Festival.
Often referred to as the “Voice of Buffalo” Steve had been an announcer
for KBBS for 38 years and was the regular host of Community Speaks and the
Buffalo Bison games, both home and away.
Steve was an ardent supporter of the Festival and Festival committee
members frequently appeared as his guests on Community Speaks for promotion of
this great community event. Steve is
survived by his wife Janet of Buffalo, two sons, and one daughter. We miss him dearly and our prayers go to his
wife and family. In honor of Steve’s
life and his love to his family and our community, we dedicate the 4th
Annual Big Horn Mountain Festival to his name and memory.

Pat Hansen
The Big Horn Mountain
Festival lost a friend and major supporter with the passing of Pat Hansen of
Billings, Montana, on May 11, 2008.
Pat’s unexpected passing while vacationing in France left a void in the
lives of many people he had touched through his love of music. Pat’s support of musicians, musical events,
and music associations throughout the region in Montana and Wyoming transcended
mere generosity, and had far-reaching and long-lasting impacts over many years. Through his business, Hansen Music, he
cheerfully supported the Big Horn Mountain Festival from its inception to the
present, and truly helped ensure the success of our fledgling event. It is with
sadness that we mark Pat’s passing, and while we are left with the feeling that
we were never quite able to thank him enough for all he did… we will always
remember him.
