Cedar Creek Lake residents found copies of a hand-written flier in their mail boxes this week asking them to honor Kadie Lynn, the 12-year-old singing sensation who recently shined on the America's Got Talent television show.
The flier asked residents to paint signs and hang them on their fences praising Kadie Lynn Roberson, who is a native of Kemp.
Gun Barrel City will host a Kadie Lynn Day and parade on Thursday, June 30, at 5 p.m. on Main Street, also known as State Highway 334, in Gun Barrel City.
Kadie Lynn regularly appears at the GBC annual July Fest event held each Fourth of July.
The parade route will start at Waldman Drive and State Highway 334, head west on Main Street to Municipal Drive and end at the GBC Pavilion. State Highway 334 will be closed 5-5:30 p.m. for the parade
Spectators are being asked to watch from the north side of Highway 334 and on Municipal Drive.
After the parade, Kadie Lynn and other local entertainers will put on a free concert at the Gun Barrel City Amphitheater in City Park.
After the parade, the entertainment will include a 6 p.m. Trinity Wennerstrom performance at the Amphitheater. At 6:30 p.m., the city will make presentations, and at 7 p.m., Kadie Lynn performs. A local band, The Lost Boys, will take the stage at 8 p.m. to wrap up the event.
