Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 8. The High Plains music fest is slated to take place at Hugoton’s Dirtona Raceway again this year. Featured artists will be the Josh Abbott Band, Logan Mize, Exit West and Genevieve Allen. Get ready for an incredible night of Red Dirt Country, Classic Country, and Southern Rock. Ticket sale proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society and other local charities.

A full day of activities is planned! Start off at the High Plains Fall Fling Vendor and Craft Show at the Eagle RV Park – right across the road from Dirtona Raceway. Vendors will sell their wares all day Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. As you shop, delicious smells from the second annual IBCA-sanctioned High Plains BBQ Bash will likely be wafting over the area. Check-in for the contest will be Friday, september 7, and cooking will be going on all day.

A new attraction this year will be the giant kites courtesy of Great American Kites & Events. The show is free to the public, and is also scheduled for Saturday, September 8 at the Eagle RV Park! the kites will be displayed from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

A group of about 15 AirStream owners – friends of Lee and Sherry Reynolds – will make their way north from Texas and Louisiana to attend the Music Fest and other area events this weekend. The group loves that “small town” feeling, and Hugoton and Stevens County will definitely offer that! Please make them feel welcome if you run across them!

Music Fest tickets are now available at a discounted rate at Yardmaster, Flatlanders and the Hugoton Area Chamber of Commerce office. You can also buy tickets online here. There, you’ll also find more information about the weekend’s events. Music Fest tickets will also be available at the gate the night of the event. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. and music starts at 6:00 p.m.

Hope to see you there!
