HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The fourth annual Red Dirt and Diamonds music event to help out Buhler baseball is coming up Saturday night. Bre Beals is with the Crusader Diamond Club.
"We were actually put together as a board to help raise funds for the high school baseball team," Beals said. "John Neill kind of brought everybody together and said, hey, we'd like to raise some money to provide some additional equipment for the boys, additional coaching staff. The big goal is for us to be able to afford an indoor facility at some point."
The concert will be in a pasture at 43rd and Willison Rd. Look for signage on either 30th or Buhler Road, depending on which direction you are coming from. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Show starts at 6 p.m. with local artist Scott Wolverton, who has a love for both music and baseball.
"First, it's just an opportunity for me to play and play my music in front of a crowd that might not have heard me yet," Wolverton said. "Baseball has been a huge part of my life growing up. I also had the opportunity to play here at HutchCC. Now, I'm a coach at HutchCC. Buhler baseball is a huge part of this baseball community in Reno County."
Wolverton will be followed by Autumn Ragland and Bart Crow. Get tickets in advance for $10 for students and $20 for adults.
"You can go to eventbrite.com and just type in Red Dirt and Diamonds Music Fest in the search bar," Beals said. "It will bring you right to the tickets. You can also get there through the Buhler Crusader Baseball Facebook page, as well as the Red Dirt and Diamonds event page on Facebook."
While you are there on Saturday, you can grab dinner at one of the many food vendors, enjoy a beer at the beer garden and enjoy a relaxing evening while supporting Buhler Crusader Baseball.
