Chatham County Line to play benefit for Columbus County schools

Chatham County Line will play a show in February that's very near and dear to me. They will play a little town called Whiteville, population 5,600 and my hometown. Don't know where that is? Don't worry, most people don't. It's about 45 minutes west of Wilmington and most known as pit stop on the way to the local beaches.

The show will be at Whiteville High School's Bower Performing Arts Center at 7 PM on February 7. All of the proceeds will go to benefit the four Columbus County high schools that have seen their budgets but due the awful economy. Specifically, the money will go to help the arts programs at the schools. Unfortunately in tough times, the arts are always the first programs to suffer budget cuts.

The concert is being billed as "The Concert Event of the Year for Columbus County!" and trust me it is. Nothing cool ever happens in Whiteville.

Tickets are available here for $12.50. For more info check out ccl2009.com. If you feel inclined, take a road trip and help the cause.
