The 50th Annual Bushwhacker Days Festival continued Saturday, beginning with the Baby Contest (see page 5) and the Toddler Swimsuit Show (see page 2). The afternoon brought the annual auto show (see page 6) followed by the well-attended parade.

Nashville Recording Artist Eli Mosley took to the stage for Saturday night’s concert at the Bushwhacker Days Festival, and the crowd enjoyed his performance. Mosley's music seamlessly blends traditional country roots with a modern twist, earning him widespread acclaim. Drawing inspiration from the iconic country music era of the '80s and '90s, Mosley's major musical influence has been Tracy Byrd.

In addition to showcasing his own chart-topping hits like "Soldier's Wife," "St. Augustine," and "Naturally," Mosley also paid homage to fellow country artists. The audience was treated to an eclectic mix of songs from Tracy Byrd, George Strait, Travis Tritt, Rodney Atkins, and the revered Johnny Cash. During the performance, Mosley took a moment to express gratitude and pay tribute to the veterans, acknowledging their remarkable contributions and dedicated service to the country. Mosley also told the crowd that he had served as a United States Marine for six years.

In a candid moment, Mosley revealed his personal background to the audience, stating, "I'm just a Florida rancher who loves country music." It was disclosed that Mosley owns a ranch in Florida, where he tends to cattle while nurturing his dream of achieving great success in the country music industry.

As the artist's tour continues, the next destination is the eagerly anticipated Country Thunder Festival in Wisconsin.
