Y'all want to know what the Down South Music Festival is?
LOB (Lights on Broadway) is a non-profit organization that was started and founded after a group of local citizens, mostly from the Town of Broadway community, decided to have a beach music concert to raise money for the victims of the tornado that came through the area on April 16th, 2011. The concert was held in May 2011 at the Broadway community building and featured beach bands Jim Quick & Coastline, The Fantastic Shakers and Chairman of the Board. The event was a huge success and since then several local charities reached out to the LOB committee for needed support. This is when the “Down South Music Festival” was born. LOB is the parent company and is the presenter of the Down South Music Festival which is now an annual event with the help of our community and sponsors.

Charities
The Down South Music Festival was formed out of a desire to give back to the community. Down South Music Festival is not-for-profit that raises money for local charities. Everybody involved gives their time for free. There is a wide range of musical genres on offer. These are the four charities we are giving back to this year:

Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA)
At Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA) we are dedicated to finding permanent and loving families for the homeless dogs and cats of North Carolina. CARA began rescuing homeless animals from across N.C. in April 2003, and we have placed countless animals in wonderful homes across the country. CARA is dedicated to providing the best service possible to the animals in our care and the families who adopt from us. We take pride in adopting healthy animals and go to great lengths to pair each pet with the perfect family.CARA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer organization that operates on individual and corporate donations and fundraising proceeds. We do not receive any funding from government agencies or national animal welfare agencies. We are very fortunate to have a caring and dedicated team of volunteers, board members, and supporters.
CARA’s roots began nearly 30-years ago when Dr. Ron Myres, DVM, opened his veterinary practice in Sanford, NC. One of Dr. Myres’ first clients was Pat Sprouse, who became close friends with Ron and his wife, Gail. They joined forces with Sissy and Poly Cohen and Diane and Rodney Harrill to form a team of caring people devoted to finding a solution to the growing population of homeless animals in Lee County. Their collective efforts would later result in the beginning of the San-Lee Humane Society, a facility that eventually became Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA).
