By Lorraine Walker
November is getting closer and with it, the Creekside Gospel Music Convention! We hope you’ve already made your plans to join us, but if not, do it today! Tickets are free but must be reserved. It all happens in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on November 3rd through 6th at the Smoky Mountain Convention Center.
One of the special events during the Convention will be the Lou Hildreth Honors on Monday, November 3rd, in the evening. Lou is honoring the great Willie Wynn this year! “Little†Willie Wynn was a member of the Oak Ridge Boys from 1959 to 1973 and has also sung with the Statesmen, The Tennesseans, and Sweetwater. He is well known for his beautiful tenor voice and Lou Hildreth is thrilled to be honoring him this year at Creekside.
If you like to hang out with your favorite artists, talking to them and getting to know them in a more personal way, Creekside is your place to be. The Exhibit Hall is filled with artist booths and the singers are waiting to chat with you.
Other special events at the Convention include the Diamond Awards, Patterson Promotions Showcase, the Morris Music Group Showcase and much more. Keep watching for more exciting announcements.
