Johnny Cash Tribute benefit

Saturday Night: February 28- 9 pm we'll be holding the 4th annual Johnny Cash tribute benefit for the local site of CHS. This event's proceeds will support the work of the Mid Town Family Resource Center here on St. Mary's Ave. in Parkersburg. This is a new venue this year, Kim at 6 Pence Pub on 7th St. has been great to work with; she advertises the event on the radio, and has been enthusiastically talking it up to the regulars there. Our 50-50 drawing has been off to a good pre-event start, and there have been more advance tickets sales than for any event in the series several years. Local musicians are lined up to sing Johnny Cash (and lots of June Carter Cash) songs; they donate their talent and time for this cause; giving the live music local fans a good evening of music. We have some door prizes and contests, too.
Come out, and get a chance to perhaps, see some unnamed agency personnel and local celebrities try to sing (or at least recite) the verses to "I've Been Everywhere," or "A Boy Named Sue" or "One Piece at a Time." Stay tuned for a report on this fun event; but be patient, it may take a day or two for me to recover from these back to back agency events!
