Labor Day Weekend Event: Inspirations Labor Day Festival

September 3-4    Inspirations Labor Day Festival   Southern Gospel singing with The Inspirations, The Primitive Quartet, The McKameys  and other groups performing old-timey gospel music.
The Primitive Quartet has been traveling and singing gospel music for thirty-seven years, and they count it a joy and privilege to spread the gospel through song. The quartet sings four-part harmony and plays their own instruments (mandolin, banjo, fiddle, guitars and acoustic bass). Old-timey southern gospel from their mouths to your heart!

The Inspirations are truly in a class by themselves. The group has sold well over a million records, been awarded numerous Singing News Fan Awards, and have charted more than 60 hit songs. The Inspirations sing from the heart, and they are true to their southern gospel quartet roots. They are The Inspirations, and they are truly an American treasure.

If there is one word that describes The McKameys, it is 'sincere.' The members of this southern gospel singing group are sincere in their love for the Lord, sincere in their love for the music they sing, and sincere in their need to spread the Word to others through song. The McKameys let their light shine through such fan favorites as "I've Made Up My Mind," "Roll that Burden on Me," "I Will Trust You, Lord" and "God on the Mountain."
