This album is dedicated to the Festival Family ladies.

The love and affection of the Festival Family ladies were the embodiment of the greatness of the pioneer spirit of the American woman. This album contains seven FESTIVAL songs, more original FESTIVAL songs than any other album. "Dakota Woman", was written by Don and Britt, and sung by Britt. "The Only One" and "We Touch", were written by Dave Small, arranged, and sung by Britt. "Tumbling After", written by Dave Small and sung by Becky. "Tennessee With Me", written and sung by Ray. "Grandma's Got A Moustache", written by Dan, is a "spoof" about Britt's Grandma Small, and is sung by Dan. This album is an homage to the Festival Ladies, and all of the ladies of FESTIVAL's very large extended family. The picture of Britt with the Festival Family Ladies includes: Anna Small in front. Second row: Shelly Chesnut-Hafner, Linda Waba, Britt Small, Jonnie K. Small, Martha Marteny-Roth.
