This is close to you Wade, the Hollonville Opry House about 10 miles west of Griffin on GA Hwy 362. Have you ever been there? The reason I ask is that 4 ham radio friends perform on stage there about once every 2 months. They are Homer - ND8F and his wife Jessie - N4QLT, Robert - NB4F and his wife Ann - WI4FEY. They have a group called "The Dixie Renegades". They just did their performance July 11 so it will probably be September before they are back. The music is a mix of country, bluegrass, and gospel and occasional 50/60's. There are some VERY good musicians on stage. They get no pay for their performance.

You can check the show schedule at: www.hollonvilleopry.com If you happen to go see any of the shows the cost is FREE, but a donation is appreciated. (I usually kick in $20 for a great night of entertainment, and food) They usually have 3 performances each Saturday night that last about 45 minutes each. The music starts at 6:30pm and goes to 10:00pm. Go early for the potluck snacks (chili dogs, sloppy joes, cake, pie, soft drinks, sandwiches) before the music starts and again you can bring something for the mix (cookies, cake, soda, buns, something like that) and it is also free with the donation appreciated. If you have never been there you may just want to check it out. It is a very friendly bunch of people that have a good time there.
