A concession stand will also be available, sponsored by the Konawa Lion’s Club. Attendees should bring their own lawn chairs and plenty of shade trees are located in the park to sit under. Additional restroom facilities are located nearby.

The Freemans, deeply rooted in more than three decades of singing Southern Gospel Music, has many accolades and awards to add to their long list of accomplishments. They have recorded more than twenty-five albums. The Original Hinsons were a prominent southern gospel group. Consisting of siblings Ronny, Kenny, Larry and Yvonne, they first sang together in 1967 after being asked to sing during revival services at a small church in Freedom, California. Though they had never sung together as a unit, they soon found themselves a popular favorite in churches and concert appearances along the west coast of the United States. Initially, they were known as The Singing Hinson Family. However, as time and their popularity progressed they became known simply as The Hinsons.

The event is presented by the Gospel Station Network. For more information, call 1-800-557-8815.
