What a great Family Festival this will be for all.... We start out the weekend with our Thursday Night Branson Show featuring Goldwing Express from Branson MO. The doors open at 6PM with the show starting at 7PM. Here for 1 night only, you will hear some of the best music and comedy from this group. You don't have to drive to Branson, I'm bringing Branson to Stoney Creek Inn East Peoria IL. Now let the Festival begin. What a lineup we have for you this year, our 4th annual. We have Prairie Grass, from right here in Peoria, River Ramblers from Springfield IL, Arlington from MO, Bull Harman & Bull's Eye from MO, Henhouse Prowlers from Chicago IL, Faris Family from KS, The Martins from MO. Many of these bands have won many awards and Ed Faris that usually does the sound, well, he is now with Ricky Skaggs Band.
I think you will just love the familiness of our Festival. So bring the family and come enjoy the shows.
