Lamar County Bluegrass 2014

08/19/2014

Good afternoon from the LCBF staff! It is 205 days till the start of the 2015 Lamar County Bluegrass Festival and we are pumped beyond imagination. This years' festival was such a huge success, and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of all of our amazing sponsors. We'd especially like to thank our "Title" sponsors; Dandy Dan's, Mack Grubbs Hyundai, Dirt Cheap, and Pine Belt Ford for their support and help in making us the premiere bluegrass festival in the Pine Belt!

Correction:
The festival this year was a HUGE success and we can't wait to see what's in store next year. Be sure to mark your calendars for March 12th, 13th, and 14th of 2015 for what's sure to be an experience you'll never forget! Many thanks to all those who came out and made LCBGF-2014 such a great weekend!

Its Lamar Bluegrass Festival week and we're excited. Heck, the festival even gained a "like" from Claire Lynch, one of the top bluegrass artists in the country!
Talked to Alan Sibley and he's bringing big timber for his Thursday perfomances. Larry Wallace and his banjo will accompany Butch Cooksey on bass, David Davis on mando., Alan and Butch. The Magnolia Ramblers kick off the festival with two free performances Thursday night. Suppertime is 6:00 p.m. (I heard there'll be some rabbit, venison, turnips and cornbread at the potluck supper.) Folks, you can't get this on t.v.
Help us boost our reach on Facebook by sharing or "liking" this post.
We appreciate you and are a'lookin' forward to a fun weekend of unity, gladness and pure acoustic music.
Come join us.
