Be looking for some Cagleheads and others (Libby too!) who were interviewed by CMT at the party. (Watch for Mary and Rita in their matching "Ohio Caglehead" shirts!)

From CMT.com:

"A gaggle of Chris Cagle’s faithful followers -– who call themselves Cagleheads -- flocked to the Franklin (Tenn.) Marriott Wednesday (June 12) for the singer’s official fan club party.

The décor of the banquet room followed the theme of the Survivor television show, with banners displayed around the room that borrowed the style of the Survivor logo and read “I Survived the International Chris Cagle Fan Club Party.”

“You once said you have no idea what you did to deserve the Cagleheads,” Jen Bowerize, Cagle’s first official fan club member, told him on stage. “Well, I think we don’t know what we did to deserve such a special man and his music in our lives.”

As Cagle’s first fan, Bowerize has seen the Texan perform more than 50 times. She tearfully read a letter she wrote for the occasion. “When I was first introduced to you and your music, I was kind of in a bad place, emotionally,” she said. “I had just broken up with my fiancé, and I just couldn’t get over it. I just kind of shut myself off from relationships and men.”

Bowerize credited Cagle and his wife, Elizabeth, who watched from the crowd, with restoring her faith in finding someone special. She told CMT.com that reading the letter at the fan club party was the “most important moment of my life, probably.”

On behalf of the fan club, Bowerize presented Cagle with a poster-size card comprising individual snapshots of Cagle and his fans and various Cagle stage shots. The singer also received a monogrammed suitcase that he needed desperately. “It’s funny, because the one that I bought the week before I started my radio tour has already got metal poking out of it, and it’s ripping apart.”

With tears flowing and his voice cracking, Cagle thanked his fans for their support. Several of his devotees gathered around the bottom of the stage to take more pictures and listen intently.

“Never, never … could I ever have imagined a mass of people dedicated to something that I love and loving it as much as I do,” he said. “I am so absolutely humbled by the awesomeness of this [devotion]. The ACM award means nothing compared to this.”

Let's just remember there is some of that video that MUST be deleted...PLEASE! LOL!!

I just wanted to also comment on how very cool it was to have CMT at the party, I've seen some great coverage throughout the past week, but haven't caught any of it on tape unfortunately.

I have sent CMT at thank you email for their participation and have asked if there is any way to get a tape of their Cagle footage...I'll be sure & let you know what the answer is, but if anyone has a chance, it would be really nice to email CMT thanking them for everything Cagle! **Lisa**

P.S. Marian, hope the fishing was fabulous!!

I'm a-thinking maybe next year I can go to Fan Fair. We'll see how things go. But for now, I gotta say that I am SO HAPPY you all had a wonderful time! Looking forward to viewing the evidence. HEH HEH Cagle-on Cagleheads!

I was just being silly!!!

How many people am I going to have to pay off to keep that video under wraps!! LOL!!
