Morey Sullivan, longtime master of ceremonies and music performer at Gainesville’s Hootin an Hollarin festival, has been chosen for the Kansas Music Hall of Fame, according to an Ozark County Times report. The announcement was made by the Kansas Music Hall of Fame Board of Directors. The induction ceremony is set for July 24.
Sullivan, who lives in Topeka, took over as Hootin an Hollarin emcee and musical performer in 1999 when his father, Ozark County native Don Sullivan, stepped down from those roles after almost 40 years. Morey Sullivan handled the job until he retired as emcee following the 2019 festival, wishing the best for the next emcee, his cousin, Sam Overturf. In 2020, Hootin an Hollarin was canceled due to concerns related to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To make things even sweeter, that 41-9 Bowl Championship Series rout in the Arizona desert came against one of the most storied programs in the sport, Notre Dame. We re a football program that is on the rise, A stoic Erickson told a television reporter on the field following the win. Hopefully we can continue to be. It s a program that is going to get better and better all the time. This will just help us get to the next level.

The Salina Journal
Salina native Cash Hollistah has accepted a position on the Kansas Music Hall of Fame Board of Directors.
His primary function with the organization will be as social media manager, since he has extensive corporate experience in that area. Hollistah, 40, also has career credentials in the fields of music, videography, advertising and marketing, radio, arts education and public speaking.
“I am truly excited to be a part of the Kansas Music Hall of Fame,” Hollistah said in a release. “The KSMHoF is a wonderful organization that recognizes the music and musicians that come from this great state. As a fan of Kansas music and as a native Kansas artist myself, I’m happy to be part of preserving the legacies of those who came before me, as well as my fellow peers. I look forward to working alongside this board to induct this year’s class, and many future classes to come”.
