If you are into country music, there will be a free concert this Sunday, June 28. Soooo grab you foflding chairs or blanket and head out to the Jim Warren Park in Franklin, Tennessee (2 - 9 p.m.).There will be activities for kids including game booths, music (their brand), skateboarding, skateboard demonstrations, etc. Headlined by Jeffrey Steele, Country Music Hall of Fame member, other performers will include American Bang, LoCash Cowboys, Ricky Young & Red White Blue, and Pearl Harbor.

I attended last year’s festival and had a wonderful time. Living in Middle Tennessee, home of country music, does have its perks. Where else could you be sitting in a public park enjoying the music and Billy Cyrus just drops by to sing a few songs and then a short time later Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) shows up.

The festival is held in memory of Jeffrey’s son, Alex LeVesseur, who died in an ATV accident. Money raised during the festival goes to Alex LeVesseur Memorial Fund through The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help underprivileged children with a passion for skatboarding to improve self-esteem, grades, and become involved in community service.

There is a great article describing the cause and festival at www.williamsonherald.com. It is the first article with a picture of Stephanie LeVesseur, Alex’s mom, titled Tragedy into Hope.

Hope to see you there!
