“The Heart of Texas Country Music Festival is a great time for fans of Traditional Country Music to gather and hear the music that they enjoy,” event organizer Tracy Pitcox said. “It is like a family reunion of sorts allowing the fans and the artists to gather and celebrate great music. It also helps out our local economy and allows many people to see our community that may never visit here for any other reason.”
