Each year, the Haleyville Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Haleyville, AL hosts a festival to celebrate its heritage and honor first responders. This year the 9-1-1 Festival has received the great honor of being named one of the Southeast Tourism Society\u2019s Top 20 Events in the Southeast United States for June 2016. The annual Festival set for June 3-4 celebrates the \u2018Home of 9-1-1\u2019 where the first emergency call originated with a family-friendly event including music, children\u2019s activities, street vendors, a parade, classic car show, and much more, while honoring its police, fire, rescue, and emergency personnel.<\/p>\n

The Festival Committee is proud to announce that headliner LONESTAR <\/strong>will take the 9-1-1 music stage this year with their country roots and strong melodies. Since their national launch in 1995, Lonestar <\/strong>has sold in excess of ten million album units and achieved ten #1 country hits including \u201cNo News\u201d, \u201cCome Crying To Me\u201d, and their crossover smash \u201cAmazed\u201d, which was also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the first single in years to top both charts. In 1999 the band was awarded ACM Single of the Year for \u201cAmazed\u201d, which also won Song of the Year. In 2001 Lonestar <\/strong>received the Vocal Group of the Year award from the Country Music Association.<\/p>\n

In 1999 their third album, Lonely Grill<\/em>, was certified multi-platinum in both the United States and Canada. It also yielded three more #1 country hits\u2026\u201dSmile\u201d, \u201cTell Her\u201d, and \u201cWhat About Now\u201d. The 2001 release \u201cI\u2019m Already There\u201d topped the country album charts, as did the band\u2019s 2003 From There To Here: The Greatest Hits<\/em>, which produced another #1 single, \u201cMy Front Porch Looking In\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 9-1-1 festivities get underway at noon on Friday, June 3 when Haleyville\u2019s Main Street area closes to allow the many arts\/crafts and food vendors to set up.
