Additionally, Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe has proclaimed August 4 Johnny Cash Day. The Cash family is working with the institution to make the festival an annual event in order to fund the restoration of Johnny Cash's boyhood home in Dyess, Ark., which the school recently acquired. In addition, funds will also go toward the establishment of the Johnny Cash Boyhood Museum in the New Deal Era Administration Building at Dyess. The event's performers are donating their time, charging only expenses for the inaugural festival. More performers are expected to be announced in coming months.
