From Saturday, July 5th, 2008 until Sunday, July 13th, 2008 we also have fun with various artists in the Pavilion. The Pavilion is a large open building located to the east of the main stage, where you can buy official HCF T-shirts and other souvenirs like sweatshirts, jackets, and all sorts of things. The pavilion is also where alcoholic beverages are served.

Thursday, July 10th, 2008 through Sunday, July 13th, 2008 you can see some of the world's favorite country music artists on the main stage!

Some of our past guest artists have included Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Tammy Wynette, Alan Jackson, and Kenny Rogers just to name a few!

On Sunday July 13 at 10 am, an interdenominational church service will be held in the tent.
