FRANKFORT, Ky. – The remaining three concerts in the “Cradle of Bluegrass Music Trail” have been cancelled.

 

The promoter, America’s Bluegrass Inc., was unable to secure enough sponsors and advance ticket sales fell short of necessary goals. The decision was made to cancel the April 21 concert at Frankfort Convention Center, the April 28 concert at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park near Prestonsburg and the May 19 concert planned for General Butler State Resort Park at Carrollton.

 

The Department of Parks will process refunds over the next week to all ticket holders.   Any ticket holder with a question about their refund should call 800-741-2707.
