Po Boys Picnic — Saturday night 2012
Nathan Brown, Dustin Perkins Band
It’s time for the second Po Boys Picnic, can’t say “second annual” because the first one was in November. Maybe it will turn into a twice-yearly event, much like the Beanstock Festivals of yore.
Saturday night is the night, and a ranch area about 1 mile south of Savoy is the place. The bands playing this year include the Dustin Perkins Band, Chance Cody & Spur 503, and Chase Sanford & Swamp Rat Jackson. Also on the menu is Travis Parker, who with several friends and guests, will bring some solid acoustic sounds to the stage.
And yes, there is a stage on this little ranch/ranchette/large-than-life back yard. There is also a large fire pit or two, should the weather turn a little chilly, and BBQ dinner on the grounds. Bring lawn chairs and ice chests with whatever beverages of choice.
Proceeds from this event are being dedicated to a specific charity, sorry I don’t remember which one, but the cover charge at the door and any other monies coming in will be turned over.
J.R. Geller gave the location as 1668 S FM 1752, but laughed when he said that most GPS devices won’t pick up on that. So, to make it simpler, he said it’s about one mile south of Savoy on FM 1752, and there will be signs leading festival-goers to the site.
Dinner is beginning to be served at 6 p.m., and the music kicks off at 7 p.m.
J.R. said they expect attendance to double from the November event, and, having been there myself in November, I can assure that there’s plenty of room for double the crowd, and always double the fun from three of the premier Texoma bands, and one upcoming premier musician in Travis Parker.
