Blake Shelton

• Location: Roanoke Civic Center
• Address: 710 Williamson Road, Roanoke, VA 24016
• Venue: Roanoke Civic Center
• Visit Website

 The Roanoke Civic Center is proud to welcome Blake Shelton and special guests: Justin Moore and Dia Frampton (from NBC's The Voice)  Blake Shelton is one of the "most versatile of contemporary country singers" (The New York Times). The country superstar's single "God Gave Me You" recently broke the Top 10 and is his fastest rising single to date. The emotionally powerful single is off his new album Red River Blue.

 

These are just a few things going on this weekend. I believe the Star City Comedy group is back at Corned Beef on Saturday night too. You never know what you will find to do n Roanoke. It's always interesting though...

So this list is all the events going on downtown today and tomorrow. I am not single, so I won't be hitting up the Bitter Mixxer tonight. But the Mom that I am is tempted to head over to the Transportation Museum for Train Lovers Day. Sounds like fun for only $5.00 per person (ages 3 and under free). There are even going to be free train rides today! I suggest grabbing the kids and checking it out. As always the weekend is full of a little something for everyone.

Don't forget today is Spectacular Saturday - in case you have not checked out the Taubman Art Museum yet.

I think that we should definitely venture downtown and check it all out. Whatever you plan to do - HAVE FUN! Guess it is time for us to get this day started.
