This year’s Camp Courtney Fest on April 18 is one “I Don’t Want to Be” absent for!

That’s because singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw will be making an appearance and bringing his hits like “I Don’t Want to Be” and “Not Over You” with him.

DeGraw is set to hit the stage at 7 p.m., but the festival starts at 1 p.m. and will have plenty to offer ahead of the big show.

Head to Camp Courtney’s Flea Market for game booths, Fun Land rides, static displays, food booths and lots of entertainment.

It will be a memorable Saturday, so make plans to “Follow Through” and join in on the fun!
