Lonestar made its debut on the Billboard country music charts in 1995 and has amassed 27 singles on the country
charts, with 9 of those singles reaching number one. In 1999, Lonestar’s single, “Amazed,” became a
crossover hit that reached number one on both the country charts and the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first
single to do so since Kenny Rogers’ and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” in 1983. The
group has also recorded eight studio albums and a greatest hits compilation. Three of their albums have been
certified gold, while three more have been certified platinum or higher. Lonestar’s latest album, “Party
Heard Around the World,” was released in January of this year.
The evening of April 10 will be the culmination of Spring Celebration at the College. As the bands play, vendors
such as ARAMARK food services, Coca-Cola, Chick-Fil-A, Boomer T’s Barbecue, and Little Caesar’s pizza will
sell food and drinks on the Green. Guests are welcome to bring blankets and folding chairs. No coolers or outside
beverages or food will be allowed on campus. Huntingdon College is an alcohol-free campus and alcoholic beverages
are strictly prohibited. In the interest of public safety, no pets will be allowed on campus during this event. In
the case of inclement weather, bring ponchos and rain gear, as this is a “rain or shine” event. Net
proceeds will benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association in the name of Hayden’s Heroes, a group formed around
3-year-old Hayden Fielder, whose mother, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, and uncle are affiliated with the College
as either students, alumni, or staff members. Hayden was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy last summer.
This event is co-sponsored by the Huntingdon College Student Government Association, Huntingdon Greek Life, BankTrust,
Regions Bank, and Hyundai.
