Stringed Union performed at 87th Annual Meeting
Rooted deep in the Ozarks and grounded in faith, friendship, and fine musicianship, Stringed Union is a Missouri bluegrass band devoted to preserving and sharing the heart of bluegrass gospel music. Led by Sharry Lovan, the band was formed in 2011 and brings together seasoned performers who share a love for traditional bluegrass and a passion for the stage.
HOEC's mission is to be a leader in delivering cost efficient, reliable energy with value-added service to our communities. The co-op is now in its 87th year and the focus hasn’t changed since the beginning in 1939. HOEC is fortunate to serve members in parts of six counties in this beautiful region of the Ozarks. Thank you for allowing HOEC to serve each of you in Howell, Oregon, Douglas, Ozark, Shannon and Texas counties.
