Country music group BlackHawk will headline a celebration May 10 in Altoona as the town celebrates its centennial.

In addition to a music stage, the celebration will include a children’s area with clowns, inflatable rides and face painting, said Tony Nash, the event coordinator. Nash and Tom Quinn, president of The Chamber, the chamber of commerce for Gadsden and Etowah County, discussed the celebration during a press conference March 5.

“(Planning) has just started and we currently have just the one act, but we’ll be filling in the entertainment,” Quinn said.

“We want everyone to enjoy themselves,” Nash said. “It’s not just for adults and we also want to include all different types of music for different types of people.”

Nash plans to announce other entertainment this week. He said genres will include gospel, rock and bluegrass.

Two major retailers, Books-A-Million and JCPenney, are coming to the Gadsden Mall this year, according to the mall’s owner, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust.

JCPenney, which left the mall in 2001, will be opening a store in October, a JCPenney company official said Thursday.

Mike Fenchak, vice president for assets management for PREIT, said Books-A-Million will open later this year. He also confirmed JCPenney’s opening.

Books-A-Million will replace Bookland, which is owned by Books-A-Million. It will displace the Shoe Department, which will move to another location in the mall, and take over the space where KB Toys is now. KB Toys will close March 22.

Riverfest tickets go on sale today | GadsdenTimes.com | Gadsden Times | Gadsden, AL
Tickets for Riverfest go on sale today at The Chamber and should be available at ticket outlets by mid-week.

An adult weekend pass is $30 and a child’s weekend pass is $7 for ages 6 through 11. All kids 5 and under are free.

Tickets should be available in a few days at Alabama Power offices across the region, WQSB and WKXX radio stations, said Kerri Griffith of The Chamber of Gadsden and Etowah County and one of the coordinators for Riverfest.

The 23rd annual Riverfest will be set along the banks of the Coosa River on June 13 and 14. Albert Rains Boulevard will close for four days for the festival.

The lineup for the festival has changed after REO Speedwagon canceled about half their dates for 2008, including Riverfest.

Little River Band has been added to the Saturday night lineup and will perform prior to Grammy winner Clint Black, who headlines the event.

Billy Ocean, added to the lineup last week, will open the show on June 13. Other performers that night include The Last Goodnight and Sister Hazel.
