‘Wake Up, Little Susie!’ and head to Shenandoah

Shenandoah has some legit reasons to toot its own horn. It’s where seed salesman Earl May kick-started KMA Radio in 1925. A couple of decades later, the station hosted two local singing brothers, Don and Phil Everly, before they hit the big-time in Nashville.

This Saturday, during Shenfest, locals and visitors alike can celebrate everything Shenandoah has to offer. The annual to-do starts with a pancake feast and farmers market, followed by car and tractor shows, a run along the Wabash Trace Nature Trail, a parade, live music and a marching band award ceremony at the Everly Brothers’ childhood home.
