Toby Keith's "Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic" is returning for the 19th annual edition of the event. The charity golf tourney raises much-needed funds for the OK Kids Korral, a home for families of children going through cancer treatment. The event will take place June 2-3 at Riverwind Casino and Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Oklahoma. The weekend will begin on Friday, June 2, with dinner and a silent auction at Riverwind Casino. Attendees will have the chance to win signed merchandise from artists including Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett and more. Items from athletes Joe Burrow, Steph Curry and Tiger Woods will also be available for bidding, as well as goods from various retailers. The silent auction will be followed by entertainment from Sawyer Brown. The night will also feature a live auction offering trips to Australia and Croatia, a hunting excursion, membership to the private national golf Dormie Network and one-of-a-kind items from Keith. The golf tournament itself will begin at 8AM the next day. The day will end with a $10,000 shootout at 6PM. Last year's event raised $1.3M - and it's raised over $15M since its inception in 2004.
The history of this house runs parallel to the history of country music. The home of June Carter Cash - wife to Johnny Cash and member of the fabled Carter Family that virtually started country music - is up for sale for a cool $3.5M. The property is already a designated historic site - and that history is full of names you know: Mother Maybelle Carter, June's mom, who lived in the house after June divorced her first husband, Carl Smith; the farm became an unofficial hangout for some of the biggest musicians of the era and beyond, including Cash, Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, Marty Stuart and more. Carter Cash reportedly wrote "Ring of Fire" while still living at the historic residence, and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McCuen wrote a song titled "Friday Night at Maybelle's" about some of the jam sessions that used to take place in the home's music room when artists would gather there after performing on the Grand Ole Opry. Built in 1925, the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 3,118-square-foot brick farmhouse sits on just under 13 acres in the very trendy Nashville suburb of Madison. Who's up for a move?
