One of the highlights of Saturday was The Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree that was broadcasted LIVE from the pageant stage at the Wilson County  Fair Saturday night. The host for the event was Mandy Barnett, a 33 year old World-Class Vocalist originally from Crossville, Tennessee. At age 12, Justin Tubb invited Mandy to debut on the Grand Ole Opry as part of a tribute show to his father. However, in this area, she's probably best known for her role as Patsy Cline in "Always...Patsy Cline". The show was the first show in the completely renovated Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee where Patsy herself performed many times.
