The annual Edmonson County Chamber of Commerce Big Brownsville Bash is returning to downtown in 2024 with nine different events scheduled over a three-day period.

With all the events taking place on or near the historic Brownsville Court Square, Chamber Vice President Josh Casey says this year's Bash has something for everyone.

"We are bringing back the popular events that our community has enjoyed over the past two years, plus a new event that we really haven't seen here recently, which is our Truck Cruise," Casey said.

The new event is a type of car show but as the name states, this features trucks of all sorts.

Casey said the Chamber has been planning and organizing the three-day festival since last year's event and they have assembled a new BBB Committee, consisting of Casey, Mark Wardlow, Daniel Bolton, Corey Culbreth, and Valerie Warnell.

"Our committee members have worked great together and of course, none of this would be possible without our sponsors that have returned for another year."

Those sponsors include Rafferty's, Patton Funeral Home, Alford's Pharmacy, the Edmonson County Tourism Commission, Bank of Edmonson County, and A Plus Family Healthcare. Their sponsorships also allow the Chamber to give back to several nonprofit Chamber members that are assisting with BBB events that include The EC Homemakers, The EC Arts Guild, and Edmonson County 4-H. 

The event will kick off on Thursday, May 30th with the Big Bash Baby Show, sponsored by Bank of Edmonson County at 6PM with registration beginning at 4:30PM. The event will be held at the Edmonson County Community Center and presented by the Edmonson County Homemakers.

During all three days, (May 30th - June 1st) The Edmonson County Arts Guild exhibits will be available for viewing at the Heritage Centre on Washington Street, alongside Edmonson County 4-H with impressive displays from local kids that are participating in the annual 4-H Rally Days that also feature a kids' baking challenge called "Cupcake Wars" on Saturday.

"We added the Arts Guild and 4-H events last year and they were a huge hit," said Casey. "Plus, it's a great spot to cool off and see what amazing local talent our community has to offer."

Events on the square will begin on Friday, June 1st from 4PM - 8PM at the Truck Cruise on the square, sponsored by Alford's Pharmacy, and a sneak peek at the annual Arts, Crafts, and Vendor Fair that will highlight local vendors, creators, and boutiques inside the Community Center, sponsored by Patton Funeral Home. There is no charge to attend either event and a limited number of food trucks will be available.

Inflatables for kids will be available Friday evening and all day Saturday on the square and are free.

"We appreciate A.B. Webb and Paula Madison for their help in organizing this event," said Casey.

The Saturday session of the Arts, Crafts, and Vendor Fair will resume at the Community Center at 9AM and will concluded at 5PM.

Saturday will also feature a growing event, sponsored by A Plus Family Healthcare, which is the annual Canoe and Kayak Challenge on the Green River, beginning at Houchins Ferry and ending at the Brownsville Bridge Boat Ramp. Registration begins at 10:30AM with the challenge beginning at 11AM.

"We'd also like to thank our friends at Kayaks & More with their help with this event," Casey said.

The third annual Big Bash Car Show on the Square, sponsored by Rafferty's is sure to bring out a large crowd, Casey added. The event helped bring out the largest crowd ever seen on the square in 2022 with cars of all kinds parked in every available spot that was possible.

Show registration will begin at 9AM with winners being announced at 2PM.

Food trucks and inflatables will be available throughout the area on Saturday.

The festival will come to a close on Saturday night at around 9PM as the annual fireworks show will be on display at ECHS. There is no fee for the event and parking is available at ECHS, however, the event can be seen from just about anywhere in the area near the school.

"The fireworks show is one of the best ones you'll see in our area, and it's free," said Casey. "The Chamber continues to find new ways to use our resources that not only benefit our members, but also our community. This is a great way for us to highlight so many different Chamber members and bring revenue to our area, all while having a lot of fun in the process."
