Donna had a booth at the IBMA WOB (International Bluegrass Music Association World of Bluegrass) Fan Fest for bluegrass fans from all over the world to stop by and hear her CD and get to know Donna. This is an annual event held in the fall of the year. A special thanks to Dennis and Lori Duff, Kathy Anderson, Marc Rossi and Camilla Kleindienst for manning the booth while Donna had to be in other places performing or doing interviews. By the way, all the wood art in the booth was made by long time bluegrass fan and Donna's father, Jimmy Ulisse.

During IBMA week Donna was reunited with producer Keith Sewell and most of the musicians on "When I Look Back" for a great night of music at local music industry club 3rd and Lindsley. Producer Keith Sewell hosted the evening and played guitar and sang with Andy Leftwich on fiddle and mandolin, Randy Kohrs on dobro, Byron House on upright bass and Scott Vestal on banjo. Wendy Sewell guested on harmony vocals with Keith, Rick Stanley did some fine harmonies with Donna and Ashley Brown guested on fiddle when Randy Kohrs took center stage.

In October 2007 Donna was invited to participate in the IBMA Master Stage Songwriter Workshop sponsored by Bluegrass Now magazine. Other songwriters on the panel with her are:(pictured from left to right)Rick Stanley accompanying Donna on guitar, Donna, Gary Ferguson. Donna Hughes and Mike Ward. Each writer sang two songs and talked about how they wrote it or what inspired the song. Donna sang " I Want To Grow Old With You" and "I Am A Child of God".
