TRANSCRIPT
Twentieth annual Dublin Peanut Festival set to kick off
DUBLIN — It’s salty, roast-ed, plain, green and boiled. It’s also the star of our show, better known to us as Bladen County’s finest peanuts.
We celebrate the peanut the third Saturday of September each year with the Dublin Peanut Festival. This years’ date is Sept. 15. The festival is held in Dublin, also known as the Peanut Capital of the South. It is the home of Houston’s Peanuts, that is known and whose pea-nuts are shipped world wide.
Our festival kicks off at 10 a.m. with a parade. This year we are honored to have leading our parade The Army Ground Forces Band from Fort Bragg. When the parade ends, a day to be remembered begins.
We will have the Classic Cruisers Car Show, Craft and Food Vendors, barbe-cue plate sale, Kiddie and Women’s Tractor Pull, Corn Hole Tournament, Five Thrill Seeker Mechanical Rides, Huge Bounce Houses (Some are two stories high), Golf Car Drunk Driving Simulated Course, The Nationwide Nascar Show Car and Race Car Simulator that is just waiting for a driver, Games for the Kids, Our Own Secret Recipe Hot Dogs Sausage Dogs and Steak and Chicken Fajitas. Our Entertainment Line Up is sure to keep you moving all day long. It leads off with Friends of Jesus, followed by The Main Event Band, next up Coastline Band and ending the show will be Blackwater Rhythm and Blues Band.
This is sure to be our best fes-tival yet. We our 20 years strong and so proud of what we have accomplished. We are all about our local schools and our com-munity. Please visit our website at www.dublinpeanutfestival.com and read About Us. Our committee looks forward to seeing each and everyone of you have a great memorable day. There’s nothing like seeing old friends and making new ones. So come on out and enjoy a day full of fun.
No pets of any kind allowed, except service animals.

The group consists of bass singer Ernie Hinson, lead singer Ms. Sharon Hinson, baritone singer Wesley Walters and tenor Anita Saxon.
They have been sing-ing many years and have traveled through many of our great states to do just that. They have 2 projects which are on the market and are presently work-ing on a third. Come on out and enjoy the sounds of great southern gospel music with a twist.
