Solid Gold Plans Continue to Grow

Back in March McMillin announced the Louisiana Off Road Race Park will host the very popular “Solid Gold Saturday Night” with Country Boy Mark Porter on September the 11th.

“We will have lots of contests for cash, plenty of games, lots of food and music,” McMillin said excitedly. “So make plans to be here and those of you who love to camp and RV now would be the time to reserve your spot.”

The radio station hosting the live event, WQNZ “95 Country” in Natchez, Miss., has already contacted Guinness Book of World Records in an attempt to compete for the largest crowd ever at a live radio show.

McMillin said plans include something for all the children during the day including a potential carnival and jumpers but he noted, “The Solid Gold Saturday Night is only for the adults. This is something you do not want to miss!”
