Reba McEntire Back in Texoma; Along With Joe Nichols

Two country music super stars stormed the stage north of the red river this evening. Texoman Reba McEntire made a long awaited trip back home to help raise money for her Ranch House at Texoma Medical Center. KTEN’s Emily Graham was at the concert this evening and has the story.

Country music is near and dear to most Texoman’s hearts and tonight all hearts were on the line as Reba McEntire and Joe Nichols sang to a packed house.

Friends and family of Reba sat in the stands along with fans from all over the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

Joe Nichols performed some of his chart toppers and even got the crowd to sing a few tunes.

When Reba took the stage, all feet were tapping and hands clapping. Reba sang songs she has recorded over the past 30-years.

After a four-year hiatus, Reba McEntire made her way back to Texoma to raise awareness for her ranch house, mammography mobile unit, and rehabilitation center. They were all built from past Memorial Day Concert funds reaching $4 million.

This is the 18th year the Texoma Medical Center Foundation has held Reba’s Memorial Day weekend events to raise funds for Reba’s Ranch House at Texoma Medical Center.
The house has taken care of families of critically ill patients since 1992.

“This is where I came for my healthcare and so it was just a natural place. I wanted to help out. I guess I would have never though of it myself; if Derris Magda had not taken me out to lunch one afternoon and said hey what lets put on a little concert and raise some money for the community. I said that's a great idea,” says Reba McEntire, country music sensation.

Even though it was a night of music and fun. America's men and women serving overseas were honored as four area servicemen carried flags in a special ceremony.
