As seen on America’s Got TalentPuppy Pals’
Founder Wesley Williams has loved animals
from a very young age! His mom even says he wanted to purchase a
full-on petting zoo at just ve years old. “It was always something
new,” she proclaims. One month all he wanted was a potbelly pig,
the following month it was a
miniature pony, and a ock of
chickens, the next. You name the
animal, and Wesley wanted it.
Although he has always had a
passion for working with
animals, Wesley also pursued his
unique unicycle skills when he
was young. Yet he always kept
that dream of working with furry friends in the
back of his mind. Just two years into fullling his
lifelong goal of forming an animal act, Wesley
has burst onto the scene with his “Puppy Pals,”
an all-new comedic stunt dog show! Wesley is
known for rst-class experiences and larger-
than-life productions. Puppy Pals Live! will not
disappoint!

performing music since childhood,

Americana laced with elements of rock and

Bluegrass Music Association’s Songwriter
Showcase, and in 2018 released her acclaimed

rounded anthems. The

reminiscent of early Grand Ole Opry performances, creating an inviting
mix of lively Americana spirit and candid, classic country heart. Since

artists in Nashville.

But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of

help him out. Together, they set out on a
mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade

something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy

the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!

There’s a moment right at the very beginning of any Twitty &
Lynn show that aords country music fans the chance to look
back in time. Just after the band has played the signature intro to
“Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn
shoot each other a glance
that summons the
electrifying chemistry of
their grandparents. Tre is
the grandson of Conway
Twitty; Tayla is the

Audiences can’t believe

Daren Streblow’s unique style of observational
stand-up comedy has been entertaining hundreds
of thousands of people throughout the United
States and around the world since he rst stepped
on the stage in 1995. He’s a “humor opportunist”
who is always looking for the comical side of life
and how people live it.
Even growing up in rural Indiana, Clint Hall always
knew he wanted to entertain
people. The rst step on this journey was
through professional wrestling. Even then, his
decidedly unt Mr. Fitness character was
played more for laughs than for menace. After
being inspired by the documentary “I Am
Comic,” Clint found his true calling in stand-
up comedy. Over the past ten years, Clint has
taken every opportunity to appear on stage
and make people happy.

Street parking in the Sipe Center Neighborhood District is
available along Main Street, College Street, and Broad Street.
There is also a municipal lot diagonally across the street.
We appreciate Truist for allowing us to use its parking lot on
Main Street when they are not open and the Bridgewater
Presbyterian Church for use of its parking lot on Broad Street
outside of church service times. It is really important, therefore,
that we be respectful of these hosts’ properties, treating them as
we would treat our own.
Additional parking is also available at Edgebriar Park, Seven
Bridges Park, and Bridgewater Community Center.
