Venders had plenty of food and snow cones for purchase and lawn chairs were spread about.

The main highlight acts of the event were, Chris Golden, son of Brewton music hero, William Lee Golden and also Sweet Tea Trio, who are steadily rising to stardom in country music.

“We are thrilled with the success of the 2Nd Annual Porchfest.  I have had so many people tell me how much they enjoyed seeing the children riding up and down the streets, playing football in the yards, we even had one house that had a family of squirrels come down and the children were feeding them popcorn. It is just an awesome event for the entire family. We can’t wait till next year’s event,” Williamson said.
