Fun abounds at Peanut Butter Festival
From The Messenger (Troy, AL)
Birmingham has City Stages; Montgomery has Jubilee and Brundidge has the Peanut Butter Festival.
Of course, the Peanut Butter Festival can't compare with the big-city festivals in size and scope, but it has something those glitz and glitter festivals are lacking - a hometown atmosphere in a down home setting.
The Peanut Butter Festival will be held on the grounds of the historic Bass House in downtown Brundidge on Saturday. But this year, the Peanut Butter Festival will be able to boast two stages.
On the Peanut Butter Festival Stage at the Knox Ryals Pavilion, the entertainment will begin at 8 a.m. and continue until around 4 p.m.
In the morning, the festival stage will feature the Monticello Bluegrass group, the Old Southern Gospel group and the Lighthouse String Ensemble. All groups are outstanding and very popular with the locals.
Kathy Till will entertain with country and gospel music.
Lenny Trawick will perform country classics including top hits by Hank Williams, Jim Reeves and Ray Price. He will be joined by Carrie Barrow, whose voice continues to "blow away" sold-out audiences at the town's We Piddle Around Theater.
