Okay, I’ll admit this is my first year to watch American Idol, and I’m only watching because of you, Mr. Allen.
And now, he’ll be heading home to give America a look at Conway.
I don’t know why, but I can barely contain myself. I’m not even a fan of Idol, but I’m just beside myself over here.
I guess because I’m happy for Kris, Conway and Arkansas.
If you need me, I’ll be down in the River Market tomorrow at 11:30 a.m.
If no other reason than to be on television. Did I just say that out loud?
I think I did.
All of the events on Friday are as follows:
11:30 a.m. performance in the Riverfest Amphitheatre.
3 p.m. Allen performs at UCA’s Donald W. Reynolds hall
5 p.m. Parade in downtown Conway
5:30 p.m. Performance at Simon Park in Conway
