Park will be closed from noon on Friday to midnight on Saturday.
“Although very common in other cities, Plainview doesn’t normally close

Co-Chair. “However, this is an event bringing people from all over the area
and it is important that everyone who is at the event has gone through the
gate for security reasons.”
The event will include a state-sanctioned barbecue cook-off, Bark for Life Relay, Car Show, volleyball
tournament, doubles horseshoe tournament and a Kids Corner.
One of the main attractions will be Friday night and Saturday concerts featuring Cody Canada & The Departed,
Cooder Graw, Zach Wilkerson Band, Dalton Domino, Dix Hat Band, Cory Mangum, Charlie Shafter Band and
Drake Hayes Band.
“There is something for everyone to enjoy and we encourage people to come out to Kidsville Park,” says
Brown. “While we know it might be an inconvenience for some, we are excited about the opportunity to have
this great event in Plainview.”
Gates open Friday night (5/5) at 6:00 p.m. and tickets are $15.00 for ages 12 and over and $10 for those 12
and under. On Saturday (5/6), gates will open at 9:00 a.m. and tickets are $20.00 for ages 12 and over and
