Stringbean Memorial Music Festival

The Life Size Statue of Stringbean

The Sign of Stringbean Memorial Music Festival

In June 1996 Porter Wagner, Grandpa & Ramona Jones, Mac Wiseman, and a host of other entertainers and friends of David "Stringbean" Akemon gathered to unveil a larger than life size statue of Stringbean and establish a Memorial in his honor. As part of this Memorial, there will be two festivals each year. One in June, and the other in October.
