Brayden Helms – Pillow Fight Championship

When:  11/5 at 4pm and 11/8 at 6:30pm

Synopsis:  Nicknamed “The People’s Champ”, this teenager from Summerville is ranked 3^rd in the Pillow Fight Championship (PFC) league…yes, pillow fighting.  I saw him on ESPN earlier this year.  Besides the professional league in which he is a part, PFC has PFC Kids.  I remember when I was a kid nothing was better than socking my brother with a pillow.  Below is a link to a video of one of his fights.

Southern Soul Night

When:  11/4 at 7pm

Synopsis:  We had a great turnout last year and believe we will have the same this fair.  Roi Chip Anthony is headlining and Shae Nycole and Missy B will also be sharing the stage.  Things will kick off with a DJ, Willy Frazier “The Hip-Hop Drummer” will do a couple of songs, then the main event will begin with the Burke H.S. High Steppin’ Bulldogs marching from the Midway to the front of the stage to play a few songs and hype up the crowd.  It will be an all-white night in remembrance of Frankie Beverly.  Roi is going to be doing about 15 minutes worth of Frankie’s material during his set.

Radio Partner:  Mix 95.9 (Charleston Radio Group)

Bacon Brothers

Synopsis:  Listeners can win free entry tickets to the fair if they correctly identify the brothers for the song they are about to play (e.g. Duane and Gregg Allman).  The radio station will then mention that another set of brothers…the Bacon Brothers…will be playing the fair.  A fairly extensive list of bands with brothers was provided to CRG that should cover a few of their stations.
