The Cleveland County town of Kingsland is pinning its hopes of parlaying the birth of Johnny Cash there 83 years ago into tourism gold on an upcoming festival and carnival.
A committee known as Kickstart Kingsland, an off-shoot of Kickstart Cleveland County, will next meet Friday, Aug. 11, to plan the event, tentatively scheduled for September 16th.
"They're trying to work up a little fundraising festival," Kingsland Mayor Charles Crain said, "have live music, get some local groups, and (have) some vendors in."
