Country music stars Chris Lane (left), Lily Rose (bottom left) and Ashley Cooke performed for a crowd of over 2,000 first responders and VMI cadets at Lime Kiln Theater April 30 in a private event produced by the Virginia Opry from Clifton Forge. The concert was made possible by a donation to Appalfolks of America Association in support of the Virginia Opry to help celebrate VMI’s 2022 graduates. Rockbridge County school buses transported the cadets to the event and local resident Keith Bryant helped entertain those who arrived early. The Natural Bridge Historic Hotel and Conference Center became the Opry’s resort performance home in July of 2021. (photos by Justin Peery and John Linkenhoker)
