The Sound of Music, America's most beloved musical;,
39 Steps,  a comedy thriller where Hitchcock meets the hilarious, and
Seussical the Musical!, a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza featuring all your favorite Dr. Seuss characters!

If you hadn’t heard of Boo Hanks before 2008, you could be forgiven. But after that – after the Roots of American Music Festival at the Lincoln Center, after sharing a bill with Patti Smith, after coverage in the New York Times, after the New Orleans Blues Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, a tour of Europe and countless festivals in this country – Southside Virginians should know of Virgilina’s favored son.

“He’s billed as basically the last of the Piedmont Blues [musicians],” says Ross LeCompte, a professional musician who retired to Clarksville after a career ranging from Broadway to “The Merv Griffin Show” and a friend of Hanks’.

On Tuesday, October 5, the Halifax County Fair will open with five days of special events celebrating its 100th Anniversary. This year’s event will showcase a retrospective of an annual tradition that began on lower Main Street in South Boston VA and has grown to be a cornerstone fall event that continues to unite the community through agriculture, rides, food and music.

The Fair's new website (http://www.halifaxcountyfair.com) has just been launched, along with the schedule for performers who have been booked so far.  This year's entertainment will include the flamboyant Marty Stuart, the Second Annual Bluegrass Festival, and the Annual 4-H Talent Show that has been so popular over the years.
