Sept 24th, Oak Hall, Virginia:

FHR Radio was invited to attend the 2011 Sonic Drive In Car Show and Concert Explosion which was held in Oak Hall, Virginia on Sept the 24th. The purpose of this special event was to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation of Greater Virginia in hopes of helping to raise $10,000 in order to grant two wishes in the Virginia area.

The event was sponsored by the Sonic Drive In and coordinated by one of its owner/operators Mr. Lee Wilson. They hosted a pancake breakfast between 6am and 9am, car show, battle of bands, raffles, and other family oriented activities throughout the day.

The event concluded with a concert put on by five teen artists that have quite a following in the entertainment world. Three of the artists are former members of the Radio Disney Group RD7. Some have opened up for many national acts such as the Cheetah Girls, Kelly Clarkson and Raymone Simone to name a few. They also bring an amazing assortment of talent to include but not limited to singing, dancing, songwriting, acting, and guitar playing.

These five teen artists were Lil Desi, Bekah Eden, Celeste Kellogg, Tyler Layne and headlined by Grant Austin Taylor. The artists started to perform around 2pm eastern time and went on til almost 9pm.

The event did experience a little set back by mother nature. Though it was raining for most of the day til almost night time, they had a pretty good turn out. 

The Make A Wish Foundation is one of our favorite charities here at FHR Radio. The charity has been in operation since its founding in 1980 in order to give hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions. From their humble beginnings with one boy's wish to be a Police Officer, they have evolved into an organization that grants a child's wish in the United States and its territories every 40 minutes. They have helped over 250,000 children around the world.

FHR Radio would like to thank Mr. Lee Wilson and the Sonic Drive In for inviting us to cover the event as well as Carrie Hill Public Relations for two of the attending artists. Also special thanks to all the artists and the many volunteers that turned out to make this event happen. Prior to the event, on Sept the 23, the artists that performed also attended events at two area middle schools to further their mission to help raise funds for the Make A Wish Foundation.

FHR Radio will bring you interviews with the artists that attended the event as well as Mr. Lee Wilson in one of our future radio shows.
