The Patrick County Music Association’s (PCMA) Veteran Appreciation Show is set for Saturday, November 9. Sponsored by the Patrick County Food Bank Board, the event will be held at the Patrick County High School (PCHS) Auditorium, with the doors opening at 5 p.m. and the show starting at 6 p.m.
The cost is a $5 donation and two cans of nonperishable food.
PCMA President Denny Alley said Harrison Ridge, a bluegrass and gospel group, will headline the show.
“They’re multi award winners at multiple fiddlers’ conventions,” he said.
Alley said three of the members are preachers, including one which preaches in the Dry Pond area.
Ron Inscore & Friends, Barry Collins & The Mudflaps, and JT Morrison & the Foothill Boys will also take the stage.
Alley said Inscore, of Ararat, is a mandolin player who’s played during PCMA mandolin festivals.
“He played with the Kenny & Amanda Smith Band for years,” he said.
The October show was well attended, with about three-fourths of the 700 seats of the PCHS auditorium filled, Alley said, adding the December show will be the annual Sammy Shelor Banjorama.
“The opening band is Nick Goad and Kyser George, the young guys,” he said, adding about a dozen banjo players will take the stage during PCMA’s year-end show.
Concessions will be available for purchase from the Patrick County Shooting Education Team, with proceeds going to teach children in the area firearm safety.
