HARDEMAN COUNTY LIVE PRESENTS

SPRING ON THE SQUARE

This year marks the 6 th  anniversary of Hardeman County Live’s “Music on the Square.”

In 2008, the Hardeman County Music Commission was formed to launch a new project for summer. Now, every Friday night from April to October, Bolivar hosts “Music on the Square,” an outdoor music series that showcases talent from all over the region right on the Court Square.

This year, the summer-long fun is kicking off in a big way with “Spring on the Square” April 26 & 27. The festival begins Friday evening with live music provided by Casting Our Pearls, Brian Lee Howell and 10-0-C.

On Saturday, things get started early at 9:00 AM with “Crafts on the Corner”, featuring handmade items from local artisans, a car show benefitting “God’s Special Kids,” the “Smokin’ on the Square” Backyard BBQ Cooking Contest and the annual APTA Historic Home Tour. There will also be a karaoke contest on the stage Saturday afternoon. Saturday night, more live music will be performed by Billy Kennedy, Steve Woods & friends, and Freedom. Food vendors will also be set up for the public Friday night and all day Saturday.

Start your summer off right by being a part of Hardeman County Live’s Spring on the Square!

Claire Shackelford is a member of 10-0-C who will be performing Friday night at the festival while Kandy Shackelford is a member of the Hardeman County Music Commission. Small Shack, with members including Jeff & Kandy Shackelford, Jillian Wisely and Robert Rosson, will be performing later in the summer on May 10 for Hardeman County’s Relay for Life as a part of the outdoor music series. Claire, Kandy, Jeff, Jillian and Robert are all employees of Shackelford Funeral Directors in Bolivar.
