Feel Good Friday

It's another big weekend in the Valley. Tough Enough To Wear Pink Week culminates with the NMSU / UNM game tomorrow night at Aggie Memorial Stadium. Join The Country Station in wearing pink to the game! Also, don't miss the NM Pumpkin Festival at the Mesilla Valley Maize Maze. The festival promises fall-themed family entertainment all weekend, and The Country Station will be live at the festival on Saturday!

News From Around The Country
Toby Keith will be on TV tonight. He’ll be answering questions from the studio audience and playing some of the songs from his new album, Bullets In The Gun, during the Invitation Only special tonight on CMT. …. Lady Antebellum threw a party this week for their fourth consecutive #1 single, “Our Kind of Love.” During the gathering, the trio was surprised with news that their sophomore album, Need You Now, has sold over three million copies and has been certified triple platinum. Lady A has spent more weeks at the number one spot on the charts in the past 12 months than any other country artist. …. Sugarland, Lee Brice, and The Band Perry all have something to celebrate this week, as well. Each artist received gold certification by the RIAA for their current singles. Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue” Lee’s first gold single “Love Like Crazy” , and The Band Perry’s first gold single “If I Die Young” have all sold over 500-thousand digital downloads. ….. And finally, like everyone in the Mesilla Valley who has shown pink spirit, the Grand Ole Opry is going to join the fight against breast cancer with the second annual Opry Goes Pink event to benefit Women Rock For The Cure and the Susan G.
