Friday, August 5, 8:00pm, doors at 7:00pm

812 S. High St, Columbia, TN
The Mulehouse

Since unleashing his critically acclaimed 2018 debut, Hell On An Angel, he’s toured with everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Trace Adkins to Dwight Yoakam and Justin Moore, written a song for Travis Tritt’s latest album, racked up millions of streams on Spotify, gone viral on TikTok, and even gotten engaged. And while you might have expected the cancellation of a year’s worth of tour dates to finally slow him down, Carmichael instead used his pandemic downtime to head right back into the studio and record Hot Beer, a brand new collection of high-energy, feel-good country.

Friday, August 5,

In the beginning, a small group of individuals met to discuss the agri-tourism trend sweeping the country and how the Williamson County Ag Expo Park and the UT Extension Service could partner to capture that enthusiasm in their county. Thus the idea to bring back a traditional county fair was born and the new Williamson County Fair was held in 2005. Each year the Williamson County Fair has grown, and has captured the attention of state and national associations. The Tennessee Association of Fairs (TAF) and the International Association of Fairs & Expos (IAFE) has honored their fair with various awards and recognitions through the years. The Fair Board has partnered with numerous volunteers, community organizations, businesses and sponsors to ensure each year builds upon the success of the prior year. These partnerships have resulted in organizers being able to continue to provide a safe, educational and fun community event for visitors of all ages to enjoy! The board is excited to celebrate year 18, as they continue to celebrate their county’s agricultural heritage, their community, and the memories of the families who have joined them as they began generational traditions of their own.
