Celebrities are seen as contemporary society’s stalwarts, constantly working hard at their job and giving back to their community to the best of their abilities.

Some participate by giving to charities and exploring large-scale philanthropy to help those in need. Others, like Blake Shelton, choose to be more low-key.

Blake, an Oklahoma native, is a well-known country music artist with a lot to offer. He recently asked foster youngsters to join him on a fishing expedition. The moment was so wonderful that it had to be shared with the rest of the world!

The Fostering Outdoor Oklahoma Collaboration initiative supported the event.
Shelton gladly agreed to lead the tour and develop a good relationship with the children. After all, Shelton is a member of the Oklahoma Wildlife Conversation Foundation’s board of directors.

This is exactly what these children require above all else: a father figure to show them the ropes of life. They may have grown up in disadvantaged communities or in broken homes and are now looking for the direction they missed in their early years. It’s a privilege and a gift to witness someone like Blake give back to these young guys and inspire a whole generation.

They got to enjoy the fruits of their labor by eating their own catch, caught right from the neighboring pond. The lads can be seen holding up their fish as they joyfully compare their catches. The men in attendance appeared to be incredibly pleased with the youngsters for doing such an outstanding job.

It takes a lot of patience to catch fish, so think how difficult it must have been for youngsters with the attention span of a puppy.

Blake Shelton was the son of a used-car salesman and the proprietor of a beauty shop before becoming a chart-topping American singer-songwriter. His acting career began in high school when he drew the attention of an already-established Mae Boren Axton. Shelton piqued Axton’s interest, and he lavished him with compliments.

Shelton then relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where Axton happened to be living at the time, and even tried to get him to work painting homes. Axton also introduced Shelton to people in the music industry during the process. Bobby Braddock, a renowned composer, and producer Shelton met, helped Shelton earn a lucrative recording contract with Giant Records.

Blake recorded “Austin,” a love song constructed as a series of voice messages that caught listeners’ hearts as soon as it was sent to various country stations. The song was a big hit and surprised everyone by making it number one on Billboard’s list of country songs.

At this time, the sky was the limit for Shelton, who went on to release his second album, Dreamer, as well as two EPs, Hillbilly Bone and All About Tonight. In the title tune, “Hillbilly Bone,” he was nominated for a Grammy Award for best country collaboration with vocals alongside Trace Adkins.

“Thank you, Blake, for being so giving and taking the time to invest in your home state’s youngsters by teaching them what outdoor Oklahoma is all about,” wildlife authorities stated.

Shelton understands the importance of giving back.
The lovely view from the Oklahoma farm pond could hardly be described in words. From the perspective of these young boys, Shelton transcended his stature as a national country music legend to that of a compassionate, unselfish hero.

We hope this heartwarming story makes you want to do something nice for someone else or realize that even though we think celebrities are better than life itself, they are still just people.
