ENTERTAINER SUBMISSIONS FOR 2010:
If you or a group you are with are interested in being considered for
performing at next years event, check out the information below.
Entertainment packages for the 2010 event will be accepted from
Nov. 1, 2009 through Feb. 28, 2010.
There are only four (4) available for artist performances,
which begin at 11am and end around 5pm. The performances are
30 minutes long with a break for loading and unloading in between.
If you are interested in being considered send us a CD of the
music or -- in the case of dancers -- a DVD of their performance,
a professional photo (snapshots will not be accepted), and a
bio of the artist or group on CD.
Types of music usually considered include country, bluegrass,
gospel (Southern and contemporary) and oldies. Only those with
a 30-minute set will be considered. Single-song entries will
not be considered. All types of performers will be considered;
however, no one is guaranteed a slot until the committee
has a chance to hear their CD or watch their DVD.
We do not pay for travel or hotel expenses. The average pay
for performances is $250.00.
