Raleigh NC.
We received a press release today, about one of our favorite American Idol alumni – Country music artist, Scotty McCreery. I’m going to pass that entire release along to you, with a little note that we’ve got two things to remind you about with this posting.
First, get your DVD recorder ready, for Scotty’s television appearance on CNN Travel Insider.
And, second, those of you in Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina – tickets are on sale now for Scotty’s show on Aug. 24, 2014, at our Appalachian Fair! If you don’t already have them, don’t wait too long. I’m sure this is going to be a sell-out show!
[Press Release] When “CNN Travel Insider” decided to visit Raleigh, North Carolina, the producers knew exactly the person to ask for an insider’s tour: native son Scotty McCreery. The Platinum-selling country music artist was happy to oblige, and took a brief break from the recording studio, where he has been working on his upcoming album with producer Frank Rogers, in order to show off his city.
Now, viewers can learn about several of McCreery’s favorite Raleigh places when the “CNN Travel Insider” segment airs on CNN this Thursday, July 30 during the 10:00-11:00 AM/ET period. The segment will re-air on Saturday, August 1 during the 12:00-1:00 PM/ET period and Sunday, August 2 during the 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM/ET period. (Please note, breaking news could bump the “CNN Travel Insider” segment to another time period)
McCreery took the CNN crew to Pullen Park, the fifth oldest operating amusement park in the United States and the 16th oldest in the world. While there, the ACM Award winner took a ride on both the more-than-one-hundred-years-old Gustave A. Dentzel Carousel, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the C.P. Huntington Miniature Train. Later in the day the former high school baseball pitcher brought the television crew to the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, spotlighting many of the state’s nationally known professional and college athletes. During the evening, the singer/songwriter gave the crew a tour of the iconic The Angus Barn restaurant, winner of more than 200 prestigious awards including 21 Wine Spectator Magazine Grand Awards.
