Merle Haggard, Robert Earl Keen and many others coming to Red Ants Pants Festival

While just over 900 people live in the ranching town of White Sulphur Springs, more than 8,000 people poured into the town for the Red Ants Pants Music Festival http://redantspantsmusicfestival.com/ last year. Sarah Calhoun, the event organizer and owner of Red Ants Pants, hopes this year’s event, July 25-28, will draw even more people to the Smith River Valley.

The festival, which is in its third year, benefits the Red Ants Pants Foundation, a nonprofit organization in support of women’s leadership, working farms and ranches and rural communities.

Held in a cow pasture on the Jackson Ranches, and surrounded by the Big Belt, Little Belt and Castle Mountain ranges, the festival will bring in more than two dozen artists.
