Big names in Gospel music like John P. Kee and Myron Butler performed and some up and coming artists like "Big Red" from Columbia got a chance to perform in front of thousands at Family Fest.
From Columbia,
SC (WLTX) - Thousands packed Finlay Park Sunday for Family Fest
2012.
More than 20,000 were at the event, a free gospel concert
sponsored by WFMV 95.3 FM.
"This is actually a thank you to the community. We have a
scholarship called "the Future Leader Scholarship Fund and we have been
raising funds for that from the community and this is our thank you for
supporting that effort," said Tony Gee.
This year 8 students will receive a 1,500 dollar scholarship to
help with school expenses like books and Alexandria Cook who is graduating from
Irmo High and going to USC Upstate in the fall says it's a
blessing.
"It’s good because they are thinking about other people
instead of just being worried about making money or bring the hottest artists
here," said Cook.
With all the fellowship and fun in the sun,
people in attendance for the Family fest said it’s all for God.
