| Description: |
The Town of Floyd continues its 4th Annual Floyd Small Town Summer series featuring music from the Redd Volkaert Band and the movie "Trolls World Tour" on Thursday, July 29, 2021 outside at Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park. The Town of Floyd offers this series of free events to provide a fun, family-friendly atmosphere in downtown Floyd, VA. The events take place on alternating Thursdays from mid-June to the end of August and feature music and movies with lots of additional activities provided to highlight the park and community organizations. Probably best known as the most Roy Nichols-like successor to the great Roy Nichols in Merle Haggard’s famous backup band, the Strangers, Canada native Volkaert had no difficultly establishing his place among the country’s top Telecaster guitar slingers. However, to call Volkaert a mere Nichols-like Stranger would be selling short his seemingly effortless ability to conjure up at will a vast array of complex guitar styles and techniques in countless genres and subgenres of country, rock, jazz, swing, surf, etc. Volkaert (a 2004 Grammy nominee for best country instrumental performance) has indeed mastered the many guitar styles he plays in.

"Troll's World Tour" is a 2020 animated adventure comedy starring the voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake and Rachel Bloom. The film is rated PG. Movie Synopsis: Poppy and Branch discover that there are six different troll tribes scattered over six different lands. Each tribe is also devoted to six different kinds of music -- funk, country, techno, classical, pop and rock. When rockers Queen Barb and King Thrash set out to destroy the other music, Poppy and Branch embark on a daring mission to unite the trolls and save the diverse melodies from becoming extinct. For more information on the film, visit: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6587640/. The Small Town Summer Event Series is free and open to the public. Grab your lawn chair and/or blanket. Gates will be open and access provided to the public starting at 6 PM on all Floyd Small Town Summer events. Movies will begin when the sun goes down. Due to Covid-19 restrictions in place currently, the normal community activities such as face painting and bounce houses are temporarily excluded from the events. The Town of Floyd will make updates prior to each event and will hope to add these fun family activities as we move into the summer months.
