Ben and Noel Haggard bring their father's legacy to the Chuck Mathena Center |
The sons of Merle Haggard are carrying on their father’s legacy with a tour dedicated to his impact on the country music world. Having toured and played with their father for years, Ben and Noel will join together with Merle’s band for a great evening of memories and music. With the same natural phrasing and richly sonorous voices that one would expect, Ben and Noel add their own fresh takes on Merle’s legendary songs like “Silver Wings,” “Mama Tried,” and “The Fighting Side of Me.”
The exceptional talents of critically acclaimed teen music prodigy, EmiSunshine has captured the nation’s attention. The singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has already graced some of the most-prestigious stages – from the “Today Show,” to the Grand Ole Opry (over a dozen times), and most recently, “Little Big Shots starring Steve Harvey” last April. A well-crafted storyteller, Emi’s music has been described as an “old-timey,” unique blend of roots music that is equal parts Americana, Bluegrass, Gospel, and Country, with a sprinkle of Blues.
What: The Haggard Brothers w/ Special Guest EmiSunshine
When: May 7, 2022 @ 7:00pm
Where: Chuck Mathena Center, 2 Stafford Commons, Princeton, WV 24740
Tickets: $25/10% discount for groups of ten or more

Tips for clean and safe work spaces |
Nights are getting shorter, and the temperature is getting a little warmer. This can only mean one thing - spring is just around the corner! As the seasons change and some of us begin to reorganize, here are a few tips we can use around the office to help keep our spaces clean and safe.
- Schedule five minutes each day to organize your desk. Put the time on your calendar to remind you.
- Sort your papers. A large amount of loose paper is a fire hazard. One reason office fires spread quickly is there’s plenty of fuel. Help reduce that risk and keep your office free from unnecessary paper. Set yourself a one-month date – if you haven’t looked at it or used it in a month, send it to the trash.
- Get rid of non-working pens (it’s the small things that count). If it doesn’t work – toss it out! Look around, I bet you can find one.
- Pick up after yourself. Take the time to put items back where they belong. Not only is it an OSHA housekeeping standard, but on-the-job cleanliness can decrease the number of wasted materials and result in saving money.
- Lastly, remember File 13, the Round File, the Trash! If you question whether or not you need it, you probably don’t. Throw it away.
A clean and organized site promotes safety, looks professional, and enhances the overall New River CTC image.
HAPPY SPRING CLEANING!
