WE WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS FROM EVERYWHERE... THE LIST OF PEOPLE THAT VOLUNTEERED WOULD BE TOO MANY TO CALL BY NAME. WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TOWN OF PHIL CAMPBELL, ALABAMA! WE ARE SO BLESSED! WE WILL NEVER FORGET OUR FRIENDS WHO HELPED THIS TOWN IN ANYWAY!! WE THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!!
And as you know, many of our friends and families have suffered because of a loss of loved ones and they will be truly missed.. There are numerous families who have lost everything they have and are trying to rebuild.. This Festival is serving as a RELIEF FESTIVAL and we need to contribute as much as we can, to help our loved ones & friends..
I had a new design for the Hoedown Festival Shirts, but the Tornado had other things on its mind.. The Festival shirts this year will serve as a "Relief Shirt". On the front of the shirts will be " PHIL CAMPBELL - WE WILL REBUILD", and the back will have: "REMEMBERING ALL OF THE STORM VICTIMS OF APRIL 27, 2011". We also will incorporate the following: THANKS TO ALL VOLUNTEERS FOR HELPING OUR TOWN OF PHIL CAMPBELL...The colors of the shirts this year will be neon colors of Blue, Orange, Pink, Yellow and Green.... If you want to purchase a shirt, please see one of these people: Chris Barton, Kevin Barton, Melissa Mohr, Barbara King, Brian Messer, Rita Barton, Eddie Barton, Jeremy Kimbrough, or Brad Trapp. We probably will have the shirts ready for sale shortly and will be selling them at the Piggly Wiggly & Raceway! I hope everyone will try to purchase one, because this is for the town & it's people!
