(Updated 12:10 p.m.) WINCHESTER -- Country music legend Willie Nelson is slated to perform in October in Winchester at the dedication of the John Handley High School auditorium.
The venue -- now called the Patsy Cline Theater -- bears the name of the late singer who lived in the city and eventually went on to record numerous hits, including Nelson's own "Crazy."
Former state Sen. H. Russell "Russ" Potts announced the naming of the theater during a press conference Thursday morning inside the recently renovated auditorium. Potts serves as fundraising director for the multimillion dollar renovation/expansion of the school.
Potts also used the conference to announce that Nelson would perform at the school Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. for the dedication of the theater. Net proceeds from tickets sales for the event will go to benefit the Winchester Education Foundation, Potts said.
Tickets to the concert go on sale through Ticketmaster on Sept. 21, according to Schweiger.
