Woodie and Becky Hill of the Pauls Valley Opry announced recently the monthly event will soon be coming to an end.

The event, bringing together so many talented musicians and singers for so long, will hold its final show February 3 after a stretch of 12 years.

The first show was on November 10, 2012 and it’s been quite a ride! The Pauls Valley Opry was not only a venue for bringing Branson quality music to our area, but it allowed the public to be introduced to the best talent anywhere!

Guests have made their way to perform on the Pauls Valley Opry stage from Alabama, Texas, Kansas, Virginia, Louisiana, California, Massachusetts, Indiana and all over Oklahoma.

The Opry has drawn in over 34,000 people from 95 Oklahoma towns. Patrons have visited from 25 states (including Oklahoma) including  Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, as well as other countries - Canada (Vancouver and British Columbia), London, England, and New Zealand.

The Pauls Valley Opry has been a huge success and tourist attraction, thanks to the patrons of the Pauls Valley Opry and to the wonderful folks who supported the Pauls Valley Opry through their advertising dollars.

The Opry would also like to express gratitude to the Pauls Valley Schools for giving us a home and support.

The Pauls Valley Opry has done more with less than any other Opry type show in the state of this caliber and that again, speaks volumes of the local support.  All or most of the other Opry’s are subsidized by foundations, tribal nations, private benefactors, federal and/or state funds, but not the Pauls Valley Opry.

“It was your Pauls Valley Opry and you allowed us to guide the ship!  Thank you!” Woodie Hill said.

Please join the fun on Saturday, February 3, for the last show of the Pauls Valley Opry.  It’s going to be a great time of reminiscing, awesome music, outstanding guests and fellowship.

The Pauls Valley Opry is located at the Pauls Valley Junior High School Auditorium at 302 North Willow Street in Pauls Valley.  The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Guests will include Mike Deviney, April Davis and Cathy Lake.  There will also be featured songs from all of the talented and gifted Memory Makers Band members.

As always, we’ll see you at the Opry!
