Born Feb. 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Ark., Johnny Cash was born John R. Cash, one of seven children belonging to Ray and Carrie Rivers Cash. When John was 3 years old, his father took advantage of a new Roosevelt farm program and moved his young family to Dyess Colony in northeast Arkansas. There the Cash family farmed 20 acres of cotton and other seasonal crops, and young John worked alongside his parents and siblings in the fields.
Cash remains one of the few artists to sell over 90 million records.
Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $6.00 for children ages 6-12. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. Season Passes honored for this event.
