A unique custom our city has adopted during Coal Fest is the creation of the announcement poster for this yearly event. The poster is based on handmade art similar to the band posters of yesteryear.

This year well-known singer/songwriter Paul Thorn will headline the show from the Coal Fest stage. Below is a video of Paul Thorn’s latest song, “It’s Never Too Late to Call.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Paul Thorn and all the other musical groups who will be performing at Coal Fest!
