2020 Texas Sounds International Country Music Awards
This event brings participants from around the world and audience members from across the nation to Jefferson, Texas. International musicians flock to Jefferson in the hopes of winning a Texas Sounds Award. A Texas Sounds award exerts a substantial positive influence on each musician’s career. This 4-day event features more than 15 great acts from all around the world. They all sing our American Country Music, in English. It has been suggested that the talent and performances are superior to the “big name” performers we see on television! Texas Sounds is produced by, and is the major fundraising event for, East Texas Performing Arts, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Proceeds from the event, sponsorships, ticket sales, and merchandise/refreshment sales go directly to support ETPA. Tickets can be purchased at www.TexasSounds.org.

5K Flow Run & Monster Mile
Hosted by the Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce, this unique 5K features a lighted/glow in the dark course and is the most popular race in Atlanta, TX! We work hard each year to bring new additions to the run and light up as much of the course as we can in fun and creative ways! Competitive runners and fun/run participants are all welcome. Strollers are allowed, but due to the nature of the race, we ask that no dogs be on the course. This year, our GLOW Run is just one week before Halloween so we will be playing into the Season in a couple different ways! We will be hosting a 1 Mile Fun Run called the “Monster Mile!” We encourage participants of all ages to wear (family friendly) costumes for this Fun Run and all participants will receive a special Bag filled with candy and glow goodies! We are also planning a GLOWing Pumpkin Contest to see just how creative our community can get with Jack-o-Lanterns or painted pumpkins! Lighted, Black Light or GLOW in the dark features are strongly encouraged!!! Free to enter with a simple entry form which can be picked up or emailed through our Chamber Office. LOCATION of Event: 210 E Hiram St. in Atlanta, TX (101 N. East St is our office address)
