Major concert being planned

Posted Monday, April 20, 2009, at 8:54 AM

Rector once again will have the unique opportunity of hosting a major gospel concert this summer.

Rector native Bill Carter was here last week and one of the topics covered in his visit was the planning for another Gaither-artist concert. Carter, who has been involved in Gaither productions for many years, "makes it happen" in terms of being able to attract top talent to the Rector event.

Details are to be worked out, but the concert is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 4, at the Rector High School gymnasium.

All proceeds for the concert go to the Rector Helping Hands Foundation, which provides assistance in numerous ways to needy students in the local school district.
