It’s Hurricane season in North Carolina, in more ways than one, and as mentioned, Hanna is coming Raleigh’s way. The storm is gaining strength, but this won’t stop at least some of the festivities from blowing full steam ahead for the weekend.
Organizers for the Cherry Bounce Stage/Festival (and City Officials) have announced that they will move forward as scheduled for Friday’s events and reassess the situation in time for Saturday. This is great news for Rock n Roll fans. Hargett Street will be rocking all day tomorrow and considering the fact that Hanna’s path keeps moving eastward, Saturday may be better than previously predicted.
