Country Music Hall of Fame was officially opened last night ;again , this time I talked to Jack Madrigas a former director for the Museum the city runs for years and he offered a tour. He is a new volunteer with the CMHF. 

 The hall of fame occupies the old Armstrong’s Department store that was nicely renovated for it. the store goes back to before World War One and The business person whose name it bears is a protagonist in a play being presented in late July for the City’s Centenary.

A number of displays of artifacts and plaques of inductees are displayed.

The hall of fame compliments the street mall downtown this week.

 A local paper is reporting that the group got about ten thousand dollars for a grand official opening in 2012, got love those openings.
