Garner adds Fall Music Fest
Thirteen bands to perform old-time acoustic gospel music
WEATHERFORD — For four years, old-time gospel music has been sung in Garner in the spring, but this year a fall festival has been added at the Garner School.
The festival will take place beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Garner School, 2222 Garner School Road. From Hwy. 180 (Mineral Wells Hwy.), turn north on Hwy. 113, go two miles to get to the school.
Thirteen bands will perform, including local and regional bands as well as those from Oklahoma and Colorado.
In addition to music, there will be activities for kids including instrument give-a-ways at 8 p.m. A mandolin will be given away to youth 11 to 18 and a uke guitar to children 10 and under. Must be present to win.
An old-fashioned barn dance will be held when the music is over — around 9 p.m. All ages are invited to participate. It is easy and fun.
Concessions will be provided by the Garner School as a fundraiser. The menu includes hamburgers, hot dogs, Frito pie, chips and drinks. Bring a big appetite and help the school out.
The festival will be held outdoors, weather permitting, so bring lawn chairs. In case of bad weather it will be moved inside the gym.
The festival is free and open to the public.
