Apparently ZZ Top won’t be the headliner for this year’s Bikes Blues & BBQ event in Fayetteville on Oct. 3. Greg Mack managing director of Taylor Mack, the Fayetteville advertising agency, said a contract had been offered and the band planned to commit to it, but struggles in its most recent tour caused it to eliminate commitments for the last month of the Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers Tour.
Mack said funds have been committed personally by three members of the Bikes Blues & BBQ board of directors to bring an entertainer to the event, separate from the official event activities. Since ZZ Top’s change in plans, an offer has been extended to a country music headliner, but the contract hasn’t been confirmed.
In addition, about a dozen local bands will perform on the free stage on Dickson Street during the Oct. 2-4 event.
RE/MAXed out
Barry Cooksey and Marcella Hagan, co-owners of Hagan Co. LLC, might have already outgrown their $1.8 million 8,000-SF building under construction on Moberly Lane in Rogers.
The office building for Cooksey and Hagan’s business, RE/MAX Realty Results, is scheduled to be completed Sept. 1. Hagan Co. recently purchased an additional 1.5 acres adjacent to the 1.7 acres next door from J. Thomas Atherton Inc. for $450,000. The purchase is currently under contract with the closing date set for Aug. 29.
