Tuesday On The Town in Hampton, Iowa

I’m so lucky to call this place my hometown! For a town of about 4000 people, they sure do have a lot going on! Recently, I got to be a part of their Tuesday on the Town celebration during the Erica Nicole concert! Tuesday on the Town is a town celebration they have each Tuesday in the month of June. There is a free-will donation meal (with proceeds donated to a good cause), a country concert free to the public, vendors available to do some shopping, and then their Municipal Band (world famous if you ask anyone from Hampton) plays their weekly concert! All free, for anyone who wants to attend…a Hampton resident or not!!

Last Tuesday Nashville recording artist, Erica Nicole visited Hampton for not the 1st time, not the 2nd time, not even the 3rd time, but for the 4th time in her career!  Can I just say, “WOW!”  That girl has got some pipes on her!  Humble and down to Earth as well.  She not only can sing, but expresses her love for music and the people who have supported her throughout the journey!

The meal this past week was made by Rob Dietz and his company Wholly Smoke!  Pulled pork sandwiches, homemade BBQ sauce, amazing baked beans (and I’m not a bean fan), and coleslaw was the meal!  The meal was sponsored by KLMJ (the radio station here in town), and the proceeds were going to Franklin County Relay for Life.  As someone who has had friends and relatives affected by cancer, I was more than happy to support this cause AND enjoy the delicious meal!

I browsed a few of the vendor stands after the concert and may have (shhh, don’t tell T) ordered a few items!  Who doesn’t love supporting Moms & Dads doing good for their families?!

If you’re from Hampton, or even from around Hampton, I strongly encourage you to check out their Tuesday on the Town!  You can still catch 2 more Tuesdays (the 23rd and 30th)!  I also encourage you to check out Erica Nicole and her music!  She put on an amazing performance and I may or may not have already purchased three of her songs on iTunes! 😉

  1. What a fun night. I wished I could have taken part in these but I will just have to live vicariously through all of the blog posts. Great program to highlight groups and small town life!

    1. It was a log of fun and it really made me stop and think about how blessed I am to be living in and raising a family in a community like this!
