This will be held at Lonoke Primary between 5-7:00 with tickets being only $10. per adult and $6.00 per child. The tickets may be purchased at the door or from a LCM member. There will be an evening of musical entertainment to highlight the celebration. This year, the program of music will be varied so there is sure to be something to suit one and all. The K.K. Kennedy Kampground Express of Cabot, a group that specializes in easy listening instrumental music, will begin performing at 5:00. At 6:00, a bluegrass musical group, Free Spirit Bluegrass, will be featured singing and playing traditional bluegrass. At 6:30, the Greater Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church Men’s Chorus of Little Rock, Arkansas composed of over 35 men who sing for the pure joy of it will be featured performers. Many of these men grew up in Lonoke County and return each March to offer support for LCM. They will close the evening and lift your spirits with their rich resounding voices singing praises to the Lord. Ms. Liza Ashley, one of Lonoke County’s favorite authors will once again be in attendance. Ms. Ashley a native of Pettus was employed as the cook for six Arkansas governors at the Governor’s mansion. She will be on hand to autograph and sell copies of her highly regarded cookbook, Thirty Years at the Mansion. No better Southern tried and true recipes are to be found! Numerous displays relating to different facets of the Lonoke County history will be on public view. Door prizes will be given so come early and be sure to register for all. A purple and white afghan will be raffled off that evening. Linda Acrey, spokesperson for the Museum stated, “Please consider this your personal invitation to attend our birthday celebration. We are looking forward to a truly nice event with the feeling of a southern homecoming. If you missed it last year, do not miss out this year. Everyone is welcome so feel free to bring all the kinfolks and join us for a wonderful evening. Please help us in the preservation of Lonoke County’s diverse history. Y’all come!” As this is an election year, politicians are cordially invited to be in attendance at the fundraiser.
