Buck Lake Live 2013

Buck Lake Live welcomes you to
another exciting program at Buck Lake Ranch.

We proudly present Mark Kroos on Saturday evening, June 1st at 7 pm,
at Historic Buck Lake Ranch, in Angola, Indiana.

Mark Kroos comes to us from Williamsburg. Virginia. Mark attended Bowling Green State University’s school of music.

In July of 2011, Mark took 1st place, out of thousands who had competed, in Guitar Player Magazine’s 2011 Guitar Superstar Competition in Nashville.

You will be totally amazed by Mark’s awesome ability to play a double necked guitar. He plays both necks at the same time!

Mark has quite a testimony to share. It includes his story of stepping out in faith and totally trusting in God as he embarked on his sparsely-booked tour across the country. He gave up his apartment and relied entirely on donations, human kindness, and God. During his tour he discovered what it is like to be homeless. Mark never lost his hope or his joy, and he found the grace of God.

Come on out to Buck Lake Live at Buck Lake Ranch in Angola, Indiana
