Iredell COAST announces Fall Festival featuring Chairmen of the Board

Iredell Community Outreach Association (COAST) announces their first ever Community Fall Festival, taking place on Saturday, September 25th, 2021 and featuring Chairmen of the Board with Ken Knox.

Iredell COAST’s Fall Festival will take place at 625 Sullivan Rd, Statesville, NC, the home of the COAST’s Resale Shop and Community Food Bank. The event will run from 12pm-8pm and will feature face painting, games, inflatables, vendors, food, and performances. Statesville Dance and Performing Arts will be performing at 1pm, Carolina Dogwood Pageant at 2pm, and Chairmen of the Board will take the stage at 6pm. This is a free community event. Face painting, games, and inflatables will charge a small fee.

With one of Soul Music's all-time great group names, the Chairmen of the Board has pleased music lovers for over 30 years. Formed in Detroit, the Chairmen were one of the first acts signed by songwriting legends Holland/Dozier/Holland for their Invictus label following H/D/H's messy divorce from Motown. The group came out of the box strong in 1970 with the wonderful "Give Me Just A Little More Time," a classic early 70's radio smash highlighted by lead singer General Johnson's emotive, plaintive vocals. "Give Me" was the foundation of the group's excellent debut album, which also featured the infectious "(You've Got Me) Dangling on a String,". They are a phenomenal group that have been inducted into the NC Music Hall of Fame.

Iredell COAST is seeking direct sales, crafters, and small businesses to participate in this event. Vendor spaces cost $50. Interested vendors may visit www.IredellCOAST.com to find more information and obtain a sponsorship application.

The Iredell COAST is pleased to once again host a community event that will provide family-friendly entertainment for the entire family. The Iredell COAST is a local non-profit organization dedicated to giving back to the community.
