HORSE SHOW
|
In the fall of 1939 a group of citizens decided to have a horse show in a little place called Heaths Grove in Adamsville Tennessee. This was located where the Centurytel Phone Company now exists. In '39 a good horse was like a good car and a pair of mules was like a good tractor. A necessity of the times. The horse show was a great place to see good livestock in competition. Over the years professional and amateur trainers came through and participated in the horse show on their way to Shelbeyville to the Walking Horse Celebration. People of Adamsville and the surrounding counties had the chance to see the best stock in the world on its way to the celebration. So many people have been instrumental in the on going success of the show for the past six decades. It would be impossible to name them all. The show was later moved to a location where Buford Pusser Memorial Park is now located, in an area where the large ball field exist. A large horse shelter with stalls was located where the previllion now exist. You could hear the announcer and the organist for miles around calling out the scores. The lights were bright and the smell of popcorn filled the air on a clear summer's night. It was enjoyable seeing our friend show their horse. Later the show was moved to Arena Lane off North Elm St. The locations have changed but the people with their show horses still come and participate in the annual shows.

BLUEGRASS JAMBOREE
|
They'll be picking and they'll be grinning!
The Adamsville Bluegrass Jamboree happens every third Saturday night of each month, except in May the schedule changes to the Buford Pusser Festival. The Jamboree presents the best bluegrass between Memphis and Nashville. The bands come from all over the southern area. Each month five bands perform and the Jamboree is booked months in advance. The Jamboree that started as an informal gathering has exploded over the years into a monthly, packed house event at the Community Center.
The community center is a beautiful facility with perfect acoustics for this show. The sound system is excellent and the place is really comfortable. It's been one of the keys to the success of the show. The bands all volunteer to play. There are so many good bands it is hard to add new ones to the rotation. The crowd is not there to visit with each other, they are spell bound by the music. The crowd is the real reason the jamboree is so successful. " It's been amazing ", said organizer Bill Wagoner.
The shows begin at 6:00 p.m. and usually end at 9:30 p.m. There is no charge to attend, but donations are accepted The donations help pay for the sound engineer and the rent for the Community Center.
It's all about the music, if you come, you'll see something you are not going to forget.
