SATURDAY 10/13: Music Festival Benefits Nassawadox Custis Ballfields

Eastern Shore native Larry Giddens, Jr., will host the opening ceremony and emcee the second annual Barbara Custis Music Festival Saturday, October 13, at the Randy Custis Memorial Ballfields in Nassawadox.

Beginning at noon and continuing until 6 p.m., the musical slate includes husband and wife duo Off the Cuff and local singers Lynette Lecato and Sandy Carmine. Also appearing are Dean and the Country Travelers, The Hurdle Brothers, The Dennis Chorale Singers, The Gospel Travelers, New Heavenly Wings Over Jordan, and The Harmonizing Echoes.

Tickets are $10, with ages 12 and under free. A concession stand will be available. All proceeds from ticket sales and concessions will go to the Randy Custis Memorial Fund, dedicated to the maintenance and improvement of the recreational complex in Nassawadox.

Randy Custis, 9-year-old son of Phil and Barbara Custis, was killed by a drunk driver in 1978. His parents established the fund so that other children could benefit from the game of baseball and grow to love the sport as much as Randy did. Barbara Custis died in 2010, but Phil has continued the fund in support of the ballfields.
