Tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 7:00 p.m., the Caruthersville Arts Council is presenting Nashville recording artists, Kevin Montgomery and Kaci Bolls. They will be performing at the Caruthersville Library. They are on a 50 States in 50 Days tour. Kaci and I went to college together and she contacted me this weekend when their Missouri date fell through. She writes her own songs and has an AMAZING voice! Admission is just by donation. 25% of the donations will go to the Wounded Warrior Project (http://www.woundedwarrior.org/). I know this is short notice, but come on out for some good entertainment. You can check both Kaci and Kevin out on their websites: http://www.kevinmontgomery.com/ and www.myspace.com/kacibolls. If you know of anyone who would enjoy the show please forward this website to them.

After the PEP RALLY (5:30, Hopke Field), just plan on popping by the library. It's going to be a fun time!!! If you have ANY questions about it, just let me know.
