The 30th Annual Hartford “Hills of Fame” Gospel Songfest will be held on Fathers Day, June 20, beginning at 6 p.m. at Faith Chapel in Hartford.
Come enjoy an evening of inspirational gospel music in commemoration of the Hartford Music Co. once owned and operated in Hartford, Arkansas. The Hartford Music Co. published such well-known songs as “I’ll Fly Away,” written by Albert E. Brumley; “Victory in Jesus,” written by E.M. Bartlett; and “Just a Rose Will Do,” written by J.A. McClung. All three of these famous writers have been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and all were former owners of the Hartford Music Company.
The Songfest will feature outstanding selected local talent. The very special guests this year will be Mark209, back by popular demand. The Master of Ceremonies will be Justin Weaver. The admission is free.
You will enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful drive just 30 miles south of Fort Smith at 306 Hwy 45 and 20 miles east of Poteau on Hwy 83. Bring your family and come out to hear and participate in some good old gospel singing this Fathers Day.
