8th Annual Popcorn Sutton Memorial Jam & Festival June 15 & 16 Cocke County A & I Fairground 112 Fairground Circle Newport Follow on Facebook June 14, 2018-4pm
Me and my husband got to meet Digger last Friday when we stopped in Newport for the night on our way to Chesapeake Virginia. He is so nice and friendly and was nice enough to let us get our picture with him and gave us an autographed postcard that he and Mark signed. We got to the fruit jar alley 5 minutes before it closed and wished that we had more time to shop around. That sense we only live an hour and a half from there we plan on going back soon.
This is awesome! I love everybody keeping up the legacy of Popcorn Sutton.. shout out to Mark and Digger and Killer Beaz for some of the best moments on #Moonshiners

GOSH HOW I WISH THAT I COULD ATTEND THE FESTIVAL. TERAY EYED RITA 😢😢😭.GOD BLESS YOU MRS. SUTTON. THE GUYS DRANK MY LIQUOR AND THEN COULDN'T FIND ME ANOTHER BOTTLE😭😭😭
MAKES ME SICK EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT IT ......TO DARN BAD THAT POPCORN DIDN'T GET ALL THE BENEFITS OF THIS WHEN HE WAS HERE . GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL
If they don't mention the thump gag waltz, it's just for money. Popcorn and his Vajayjay Eaters record trophy will never be broken, I miss you so much!
Are they still doing this tribute or memorial for him still today and are they having one this June? how do I get information about location and dates? thanks.
I hope people were able to get a taxi cab or Uber after going. Moonshine is some rough stuff. you really DON'T want to drink and drive after taking sips of that. I assure you.
I heard for the first time of Popkorn's fate in our "Deutschlandfunk - Radio 📻" today " Sonntagsspaziergang what meen's something like" Sundays walk". Popkorn seemed to be typical for a sad fate for a person with an ADD-Syndrome (Attention deficite dysorder). He lost his life, because he did not have the right psychostimulant medicament. Of course He could have taken some alcohol drugs too, to the medicament, but Not in a form, that was so problematic in those times, that he had to go in jaile, there without his "elixire", getting depressiv etc. So this famous festival with music for Popkorn could be also an " ADD - Information and care - festival" too in future, because there are thousands of people who are not informed or treated correctly, some of them even become presidents (! ;-)), but no one cares about the lack of dopamine, that they actually lackibg of. I know, of what I'm talking. I'm glad, that i got to know firstley of this intetesting, funny and tragic story. From germany with love 🙂👍
