Rising country music star Sydney Hansen of Duluth posted the following on her Facebook page today: "To be a part of the 9th Annual Josie Music Awards at the Grand Ole Opry this year was absolutely incredible!

A wonderful experience to say the least from the red carpet to being in the pews of the Opry."
