Ramblin' Hank To Be Honored With Stamp

A big celebration is planned for May in Liverpool. May 9th will be Hank Snow's 100th birthday and to commemorate the occasion, Canada Post will unveil a Hank Snow stamp. The administrator of the Hank Snow Home Town Museum, Kelly Inglis, says its an incredible honor for the late country singer and fans too.



Among the many things planned at the Liverpool celebration in May, is the unveiling of a life-size statue of Snow, the release of Vernon Oickle's biography of him and the opening of the new Hank Snow Community Park across from the museum. Grand Ole Opry singer Larry Gatlin will also hold a concert at the Astor Theatre and Hank Snow's son, Jimmy Rodgers Snow, will also be attending events during the weekend. The events run May 9th to 11th.
