Hillbilly Days In Pikeville
KENTUCKY...
It's now underway...Hillbilly Days in Pikeville. With as many as 150,000 visitors flooding the streets of Pikeville, city and county officials are hard at work to make the experience the best ever. The 34th Annual event will feature over 300 vendors and numerous performances, both amatuer and professional. The entire downtown section of the city is cordonned off in order to provide a safe walking and browsing venue. The sound of Bluegrass music fills the air, and on Saturday night at the East Kentucky Expo Center Hank Williams, Jr. will perform for what is expected to be an overflow crowd. A record number of fair-goers are expected this year, and so far, the weather is cooperating. Proceeds from the event go to the Shriners' organization to be used in the treatment of disadvantaged children.
