The old truck stop in Carl's Corner's (I35E Exit 374) is reopening as Willie's Place this summer. Rumor has it that Willie Nelson won the place from his old compadre Carl (they grew up together in Abbott, Tx. about 16 miles South) in a card game. Probably just went in together to promote BioDiesel but it's a good story. Anyway many millions and some corporate partners later the place is reopening as a Truck Stop, Theater and XM radio broadcast location for the Willie's Place XM Radio Channel (13).
There are free concerts scheduled for July 1,2 & 3 with David Allen Cole and Ray Wiley Hubbard on the 1st and 2nd and Willie, Merle, and Ray Price on the third. I posted this in Planning because this isn't set in stone yet, they may not have the facility ready in time and may have to postpone. Here is a link to the website: http://www.biowillieusa.com/index.php
Food and drinks are available of course but NOT FREE. An interesting fact is that Carl's Corner is incorporated as a city and does not have a Police Dept. There are the Hill County Sherrifs Deputies of course, but Willie can do no wrong in their eyes. Should be a good ol' outlaw time.::Banana::
