North Louisiana Spring Bluegrass Festival

Hey all you bluegrass fans out there, I just thought I'd let you know about our local upcoming festival in Oak Grove, LA to be held March 25-27, 2010.  It will be held inside the Thomas Jason Lingo Community Center.   In the ariel view, you can see all the campers off to the right of the center and the motel in the lower left corner.  Both fill up quickly, but there are more campgrounds and motels within easy driving distance.

The event kicks off at 6:00 p.m. on Wed., March 24th with a pre-festival Covered Dish Supper and music by Southern Flavor.

Southern Gospel Music Weekend

Just thought some of you gospel music fans might be interested in our community's upcoming event this weekend, March 4-6, to be held at the Thomas Jason Lingo Community Center in Oak Grove, Louisiana each evening at 6:30 p.m.

The following is a lineup of the featured groups:

Thurs.     Eleventh Hour, The Franklin Family, Mark Trammell Trio and the Whisnants

Fri.         The Joe Cook Family, The Proclaimers Quartet, The Crist Family and The Perrys

Sat.        Sanctuary Quartet, Priority, Palmetto State Quartet, and Dixie Melody Boys.

Tickets are $15 a day or $40 for a three day pass.  For more information call (318) 428-5282.

This is the same community center where we hold our annual Holiday Boutique Christmas craft show.  You can see pictures of the inside of the building in my previous post, It's Almost Time for the Fat Lady to Sing!!!

Just imagine up to 1,000 comfortable padded chairs filling the room instead of the craft booths .  With a state of the art sound system there is not a bad seat in the house.
