Bud Light, in partnership with the Fayetteville
Dogwood Festival, presents its free summer concert
series featuring On the Border: e Ultimate Eagles
Tribute Band, Friday, July 14, at 7 p.m. in
Festival Park.
"This concert is expected to be our largest
Fayetteville After 5 event," said Sarah Suggs, mar-
keting and events coordinator for the Fayetteville
Dogwood Festival. "We have had On the Border
before; they are an Eagles Tribute Band and a
Fayetteville favorite." Suggs said the opening per-
formance would be Quilted Sky. Quilted Sky is a
cover band and is local to the area.
On the Border is from Charlotte, North Caro-
lina. They perform shows all over the United
States at major festivals, music venues, casinos,
theaters and other events. The band was crowned
"The Greatest Eagles Tribute Band in the World"
by AXSTV and Katie Daryl. The group consists
of Tracy Maples, Tim Giovanniello, Bill Morgan,
Andy Young, Scott Sobota and Bob Orazi.
The concert is a fundraiser for the Fayetteville
Dogwood Festival organization. "We put on events
throughout the year, and the purpose is to raise
money for the next event so we can continue to
put on these free concerts for the community,"
Suggs said. "Fayetteville After 5 events were start-
ed three or four years ago and would take place on
the fourth Friday. Now the events are scheduled
for the second Friday of summer months."
There is more than great music at Fayetteville
After 5, though. The event will feature food trucks
from My Daddy's Barbeque, Brain Freeze Ice
Cream, Hibachi Express, King Queen #1 Haitian
Cuisine, Kona-Ice, My Boricua Kitchen, Queso
Monster, Tropical Island Concessions, Flava-
paloza, Ragging Rooster, Bowls on a Roll, Tony's
Concession and Babann's Southern Fried Chicken.
A concession stand will be on-site and beer will be
sold. "We encourage people to get there early be-
cause we are expecting a large crowd," Suggs said.
"We look forward to great music, food and fun."
Admission is free. Gates open at 5 p.m. No
outside food or beverages are allowed within the
park. The public is encouraged to bring blankets
and chairs. For more information, call
