Ever dream of being a rock star? Want to hear the next country star before he’s famous?
Now is the time to sign up if you are planning to compete or perform or participate in any of the many events planned during this year’s Red, White, and Blue Festival which happens November 5-8 right here in East Texas, in Bullard.
There are so many ways to participate; it’s hard to know what to sign up for first.
The Talent Search is an obvious opportunity if you are a talented, amateur musician. Besides the chance to perform on a professional stage in front of a receptive, hometown audience, there is the grand prize of a professionally recorded sound tract contributed to the event by Greg Hunt of Rosewood Studios.
Is your child a promising young artist?
Area school children are invited to participate in a poster contest honoring vets.
Are you a young woman longing to put your patriotism into words? Do you look forward to a future as a writer?
Miss Armed Forces will be selected based on an essay written in honor of vets. She will be crowned right after the parade on Saturday. Those essays can be submitted at the newspaper office.
Ever dream of marching in a parade or riding on a float?
The Smith County Sherriff’s Posse, and the Shriners, horse clubs, bands, US Armed Forces squads and many others are promising to turn up and wow the crowds lining downtown Bullard. If you are interested in honoring our military veterans by strutting your stuff, too, now is the time to reserve a place for your group or float.
You’ll be marching with a star-studded line up this year including Star McFarlin, the Great American Dog and Proud Mary who is the fastest woman in a speed boat according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Have a tractor or an antique car you like to show?
Registration is already happening for the Antique Car Show and the Tractor Show.
Have you got crafts you want to sell or projects to bless the community?
Clubs, artists, and craftsmen are already contacting the Chamber of Commerce about filling the limited number of spaces.
And what would all this fun amount to without the food, right?
Food venders, including corn dogs, hamburgers, lemonade, funnel cakes, nachos, you name it, are signing up now.

See ya at the Festival!
