And Now, On With The Show!

Free entertainment is provided all weekend long on the Main Stage at the People's National Bank Lot, Tremont and Third Streets and also on the Late Night Stage in the alleyway behind Cerno's Bar and Grill (just a stone's throw from the Main Stage!)  Bring your own lawn chairs for seating and come early if you're picky about where you sit.  The lot fills up fast.

7:30 PM on the Main Stage in the People's National Bank lot!

 

Say "Outlaw Train" and high energy and you're saying the same thing!  The impact of their music, along with a spontaneous stage show that includes lots of of audience interaction and involvement, makes for an evening of top notch entertainment and fun!

Outlaw Train covers the country music gamut from top 40 to southern to classic.  They, individually or as a group, have been the opening act for George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack and the Charlie Daniels Band, just to name a few from a very long list of nationally known country big-hitters.

Come early and find a good spot in the audience.  This 57th Annual Hog Days thing is just getting underway and already it's been 'outlawed' !

 
 
       
       
10 PM on the Late Night Stage behind Cerno's Bar & Grille!
 

We had our country fix on the Main Stage earlier this evening, now how about some good-time rock n roll!

Ready Steady Go is playing your all-time favorite hits on the Late Night Stage and they've saved a spot just for you!

We suggest you catch up on your sleep next week because starting at 10 PM tonight we are gonna party the weekend away.  And when you look back, you can say it all started with RSG!

7:30 PM on the Main Stage in the People's National Bank lot!

Here They Come!  The original Bill Haley's Comets!  THE very first band to which the term "rock n roll" was ever applied.  The band that has sold over 200 MILLION records.  The band that has appeared in 7 motion picture and TV shows.

Sorry kids.  Tonight belongs to the Boomers! As we used to say back in the day, "See Ya Later Alligator" because tonight we're going down to the Main Stage to "Shake, Rattle & Roll" while we "Rock Around The Clock!" And that's only 3 song titles we worked into this copy!  The Comets have plenty more and they're performing all of them!

And you know what, even if us older folks break a hip, it's okay! Because we'll be rockin' n rollin' to Bill Haley's Comets!  So see ya there. And, hey, slip me some skin, Man! (this is code only Boomers will understand!)

 

 
     
     
       
       

10 PM on the Late Night Stage behind Cerno's Bar & Grille!

 

Time to get back to now with Short Lived Fun! Looking for music from the 90s and the 00's? Then meet us at the Late Night Stage and be ready to Par-tay into the late night.

It's going to be hard and loud and for a limited time only! So bring on The Fun baby!

7:30 PM on the Main Stage in the People's National Bank lot!

Why go to Branson when Doug Gabriel and Family will come to Hog Days!  And since all Hog Fest stage shows are free to the public, it's going to cost you, oh, wait...NOTHING to see the Branson experience!  Check out this promo video to get an idea of what will be happening live right here at home on Sunday night, September 5th...

And notice the photo.  One of the instruments Doug will be playing is his pitch perfect guitar made from a 1969 Thunderbird muffler! That right there is worth a trip down to the Main Stage!

It's wholesome, fun, family entertainment.  Doug is bringing his family to Kewanee.  Why don't you bring yours!  The bonding begins at 7:30!

 
   
     
     
     
     
     
       
       

10 PM on the Late Night Stage behind Cerno's Bar & Grille!

 

We wrap up night 3 of Hog Days on the Late Night Stage with Hard Ball!

We're talkin' classic rock n roll performed perfectly by Jason, Tim and Gary (at least that's the names they gave us!) Their playlist covers everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top and all the letters of the alphabet in between!

10 PM is the time.  Tomorrow marks the end of Hog Days and pretty much the end of summer.  This is it. We gotta make this one count. Time to take off the gloves and play some Hard Ball!

1 PM on the Main Stage in the People's National Bank lot!

  It's the final day of Hog Fest and we're lining up some local performers on the Main Stage. It's going to be folksy, homey and laid back as we wind down the 57th annual installment of Hog Days.

At 1 PM see Delbert Calhoun perform.  Del does classic country with a little gospel music thrown in as well.
