Pickler coming to Crawford Co. Fair
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Growing up in Albemarle, N.C., as Kellie Pickler rolled back and forth to customers at the Sonic Drive-In, her mind was on bigger things.
“Ever since I was little, I’ve dreamed of some day being part of country music, ” she said. “I’ve always wanted to go after what I want.
“I’ve never believed in settling. I think you should go after those dreams.”
Not settling has worked very well for this small town girl. Pickler’s down-home southern charm, along with her big voice and honest and open demeanor, has made her one of country music’s rising stars.
She will appear at the Crawford County Fair at 9 p.m. July 14.
