31st Annual SongFest

                                         
                       Saturday September 11th 3:00 PM

                                             CIVIC CENTER AUDITORIUM

2010 IS THE 31^ST YEAR FOR THE ANNUAL HOPKINS COUNTY GOSPEL SONG FEST PRODUCED BY INA & BUDDY GORE WITH THEIR GOSPEL SINGING GROUP “PSALM 100 AND THE JOYFUL NOISE BAND”. THIS EVENT CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR FEATURES OF THE WEEK LONG FESTIVAL.  SINCE ITS HUMBLE BEGINNING ON A FLATBED TRAILER, UNDER THE SHADE TREES ON THE CIVIC CENTER GROUNDS IN 1980, IT HAS ALWAYS FEATURED OUTSTANDING TALENT IN A HOMETOWN ATMOSPHERE.  THE GSF MOVED INTO THE BEAUTIFUL HOPKINS COUNTY CIVIC CENTER AUDITORIUM IN 1982 AND HAS BEEN AT HOME THERE EVER SINCE.

BUDDY AND INA GORE SAYS, “WE BELIEVE THAT THE GOSPEL SONGFEST PRODUCES SOME OF THE FINEST CHRISTIAN MUSIC TALENT IN TEXAS.”  AND HAS SEEN MANY TALENTED AND GIFTED PEOPLE GO FROM THE GSF STAGE TO MUCH LARGER VENUES.  BUDDY, SMILING BROADLY, CONTINUES BY SAYING “HITTING NOTES A LITTLE SHARP (LIKE SOME OF US), OR ON THE FLAT SIDE (LIKE SOME OF US), IS NOT ENOUGH TO DAMPEN THE SPIRIT OF THE GOSPEL SONGFEST ATTENDEES.  AT LEAST, NO ONE HAS EVER ASKED FOR THEIR MONEY BACK FOR THE THREE PLUS HOURS SPENT BEING ENTERTAINED BY THESE TALENTED SINGERS AND MUSICIANS.”

THE FARMERS, RANCHERS, FACTORIES, RETAIL MERCHANTS AND HOMEMAKERS DISPLAY THEIR VERY BEST AT THIS ANNUAL EVENT, SO WE BELIEVE THAT CHRISTIAN ENTERTAINERS SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY THIER GOD GIVEN TALENTS TO HONOR HIM AND GIVE OUR COUNTY RESIDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HEAR WHAT TALENT IS AVAILABLE HERE .  THE GORE’S MOTTO IS TO OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AMATEUR AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL TALENT TO PERFORM AND FOR THE AUDIENCE TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY GOOD CHRISTIAN MUSIC AT THE HOPKINS COUNTY FALL FESTIVAL. 



 FOR THIS 31ST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE GOSPEL SONGFEST, THE GORES ARE FEATURING SOME POPULAR GOSPEL GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO'S TALENT AND HEART FOR MINISTRY TAKE THEM ON THE ROAD WEEK AFTER WEEK TO SING AND MINISTER IN MUSIC.
