Yup....I believe that one is correct.. I know the dates are right..plus I heard Hillbilly Deluxe play a few weeks ago and they said something about opening up for someone at the Keller Fest...makes since now.

Oh but, Public-Opinion, if they would just get Shania to come with him, I'll stand in line all night long to buy a ticket, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF5ZiTuKuFE
Don't forget...Helen Keller was a well-known Socialist/Communist. What kind of festival do you expect?
I've never enjoyed the Helen Keller festival. It's dang-near impossible to see or hear anything!
Oh, I'm sorry. Was that in poor taste?

I thought one of the reasons for the admission charge was to build up a fund to get some top line acts. Doesn't sound like they lived up to that with the headliner this year.
Just a question of interest. How many of you have seen the play? I lived in this area for MANY years before I actually went to see it. And, I was very surprised at how good it really was. It is one of the brighter spots of the week/month.
Its expensive to put on any kind of festival, especially the Keller....The Keller Committee should have been charging admission for years, plus a fee for parking. Its this revenue that allows the festival to be better each year. I know for a fact the leaders of the keller committee, were very hesitate about charging any admission. However, the cost has gotten so expensive they have no alternative but to do so...
Its the ones who have never contributed anything, in anyway, any how, to the keller festival except place their fat butt on the lawn chair at the park during the festival, who squeal the most about having to pay an admission...
The day of the keller freeby is over...Don't want to contribute towards its success...simply stay at home and save yo mo...no one will feel hard about ya...heck! you probably won't even be missed...

Since the beef has begun, I'll add mine.
Tuscumbia should not allow parking along the parade route.
1) It pushes all the candy-receivers (kids) right out into the street when they could be nearer the curb and more out of harm's way.
2) Last year, I called the mayor's office to express this concern and was told that the merchants would not like it at all if parking was not allowed in front of their businesses.
I was shocked at this response.
So, (signing) I-N-C-O-M-E is more important than S-A-F-E-T-Y ? Amazing...

Well, I saw a Deshler homecoming parade last year. Doc Hollywood maybe?
Might do the 5 mile run.Not sure yet.They do need to get better acts though.
I have seen the re-enactment several times over the years. They always do an outstanding job. It is something everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.
As for the headliners and opening acts. So long as the festival doesn't serve beer -- Hillbilly Delux will be a great show. Once some of them get to drinking -- it's terrible. I agree they could have gotten a better headliner, but BC isn't that bad...I agree though, most of the "same ol same ol" is the reason I don't go anymore.

Sorry to disappoint Stay In It, but yes it is out already...hence the discussion of Billy Currington and Hillbilly Delux...It may not be set in stone, but the schedule is out -- it is less than 2 months away...they even state the site is being updated. When you look at the schedule it says 2007, but when you look at Entertainment the people are different...many of the events are the same place and same time every year therefore it looks like it is last years schedule, but they repeat the artists every year as well...
Last years headliner was Collin Ray (if you look at Schedule of Events)...this year it's Billy Currington(if you look at Entertainment)...
I know that we,,, along with some of our friends are going to try to make it this year... anyone tell me how they do parking for the event?.......
