The Boones Creek Historical Trust plans to distribute a packet to every history teacher in the Johnson City and Washington County school systems to help teach students regional history.
Well-known high-energy singing duo Bailey George and Jukebox Jess will become the Boones Creek Opryâs concert hosts when it reopens later this year.
The Opry was more fortunate than many music venues during COVID because as the group transitioned from a storefront space in Johnson City to an outdoor space at its new location on the old Keefauver Farm, there was plenty of room for social distancing.
George and Jess, who host a show on Radio Bristol, said theyâre excited about the opportunity to participate in the Opry and learn more about the history leading up to its creation.
