BELPRE — The 90th annual Belpre Homecoming will take place Aug. 4-6 at Civitan Park in Belpre.

Long a project of the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce, this year’s Homecoming marks its first year as its own non-profit organization.

The main stage entertainment will kick off Thursday, Aug. 4, with something new featuring up and coming Contemporary Christian artist Jordan St. Cyr performing at 8:30 p.m. He has been on tour with Casting Crowns and is being sponsored by Rockland United Methodist Church.

The following evening will feature Adam Tucker as Vegas McGraw, a tribute to country music star Tim McGraw, performing at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, on the main stage.

Earlier this year, Tucker performed on episode 3 of the Jimmy Fallon-produced “Clash Of The Cover Bands” on the E channel in which he won. He was featured on the March issue of My Vegas magazine.
