Rally Round Greenville to be held this month

By Scott Harvey

Greenville – Plans are being finalized for several area events to take place later this month.

The Rally Round Greenville festival is slated to begin Friday, September 19 with a Kick-Off Concert, featuring Billy Joe Shaver.

The Kenneth Threadgill Concert, to take place Saturday, September 20, will feature Guy Clark, Terri Hendrix and Max Stalling.

The three day event will also include the OmniSYS Cotton Patch Classic Bicycle Race and Tour, a barbeque and chili cook off, as well as food and arts and crafts vendors.

Additional events plus general Rally Round Greenville information is available by contacting Greenville Chamber of Commerce Tourism and Marketing Director Milton Babb at 903-455-1510.

Early ticket sales for the September 20th Threadgill concert are strong and it is expected that the reserved section will sell out.

Tickets are available through Front Gate Tickets online at www.frontgatetickets.com or by calling 888-512-SHOW. Tickets are available locally at Cavender's on Wesley Street in Greenville.

Later this month KETR will preview the 23rd Annual Bois d'Arc Bash, to run August 26 - 28 in Commerce.
