"We wanted to recognize all of you who have promoted, sponsored, and made this happen, the past four years in Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County and to give you a 'heads up' on some new and exciting things that will be happening to mark the 5th Annual production," continued McLain. "It's going to be an exciting time and a great show for 2012!"
