Justin Moore 8:00 p.m.-Saturday Main Tent

Country music star Justin Moore—known for top 10 singles “Small Town USA,” “If Heaven Wasn’t so Far Away” and “Backwoods”—will headline the entertainment for the 2012 Cattlemen’s Ball.

Raised in Poyen, Arkansas, population 272, Moore is a perfect fit for the Cattlemen’s Ball in McCool Junction, population 385.

In music and life, Moore embodies the soul and character of a small-town boy. The lyrics from Moore’s self-penned song, “Heaven Ain’t That Far Away,” typify his philosophy on life:

“It’s a dirt road, a fishin’ pole, a cold beer sittin’ on a tailgate. It’s an old church, a kind word, it’s where I was born and raised. Heaven ain’t that far away.”

The Innocence 10:00 p.m. –Saturday Main Bar Tent

Excellent live entertainment and superior musicianship. With a song list of diverse hits from Journey to Rascal Flatts and from Michael Jackson to AC/DC, The Innocence is the perfect fit for any event or club. Their instrumental and vocal prowess allows them the freedom to cover difficult songs most bands wouldn’t dare attempt.

You won’t find a more exciting, talented, and professional band than The Innocence.
