Brownsdale will see a new event Friday through Sunday in the form of a “good old revival.”

Baptist Minister Ken Petzold is organizing the three-day Red Rock Revival. He said he wasn’t sure when the last one was and said it could have possibly been held in 1922.

“I was feeling like we need to have a good old revival,” Petzold said. “We can use a little spiritual revival.”

He said the revival comes at an opportune time because of the closing of Brownsdale Elementary School. The celebration is for the community to go out and enjoy the day and good music all day long.

“If nothing else, it will give the people of Brownsdale a weekend where they don’t hear about all the drama of the school closing,” Petzold said. “They can have a fun weekend and relax.”

He adds the revival is not only for Brownsdale residents, but for everybody in the area.

“Our little town needs a boost and this may be just what we need,” Petzold said.
