While it might seem a little more appropriate to have David Waddle of Western Swing Radio Rambler on site today for our chat with the ambassador of Hotel Turkey, I was excited to get the details from Carley regarding this exciting milestone for the "King of Western Swing." Hear my full interview with Carley about Bob Wills Day, and see below for the full lineup. For more information, visit the Facebook page, website, or call Carley at 806.336.1471.

Don’t be surprised if you see a few more familiar faces pop up on stage at the dances, as we know all our friends are heading to Turkey, Texas to celebrate the life and music of the one-and-only Bob Wills. It has been 50 years in the making, and this will be the best one yet!
A few things to remember:
--No outside folding or lawn chairs allowed. And there will always be a dance floor. Limited stadium seating at the rear of event and stationary seating along the perimeter!
--No Glass Bottles.
--Tickets are tagged on the collar or lapel of your shirt.
--Tickets are $30 a person per dance night. Thursday is one dance with two bands! Friday, the same. Saturday, as well!
--Cash only and tickets are only available at the gates each night of the dances!
--The concession stand will be open.
Get ready to have more fun than you thought possible, and hear the best music in the great State of Texas while in Turkey, Texas!
