Dickes said she is honored and humbled to be chosen for this award.
“It’s easy to give a heartfelt welcome to our visitors from all over the world because of the special way we all connect through bluegrass music,” she said. “People share stories, play music, and create a memory that they take home with them. The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a treasure and I am blessed to be a part of it. I deeply appreciate those who made this award possible.”
Chris Joslin, Executive Director of the Hall of Fame, added “For many of our visitors, music is very personal, and it’s connected to their personal journey.

We call this ‘music with a mission.’ Thanks to Sally Dickens, mission accomplished!”
