Churches in Granite Shoals sat empty Sunday morning, April 24. More than 300 of their members were gathered for a community-wide service on the steps of city hall. The climax of the Granite Shoals 50th Year Bash to celebrate the past was a gathering in of faith in the future of the city. Children were at the forefront of the event, applauded for their music and praised for their work as volunteers throughout the year to entertain their churches and the elderly. The worship service followed on the heels of the Saturday festival that went on into the night, thanks to extra performers who took the stage before a final jam session with john Arthur martinez and Tejas. It was estimated that more than 2,000 visitors took part in the event.
