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!

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!

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.
