OAK GROVE, KY (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Country music recording artist Randy Houser has had to cancel plans to headline the 13th annual Spring into Summer Salutes Fort Campbell Festival.
Houser booked another project that has COVID-19 regulations preventing him from being available for the festival, according to Traci Cunningham, executive director of the Oak Grove Tourism Commission.
“Although we understand the situation Mr. Houser was put in, it will be very difficult to replace him with only five weeks left,” Cunningham said. “Please be patient with us as we look for a new headlining artist and keep an eye out for the big announcement.
“While we are confident a replacement will be found, the 13th annual (Take 2) Spring into Summer Festival … will absolutely continue with or without an artist; we will not let this setback keep us from having the greatest festival in Christian County, Kentucky.”
