The Maine Country Music Hall of Fame will present “Extravaganza 2023,” the annual benefit fundraiser show, beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 12, at The Silver Spur Dance Club in Mechanic Falls. The 3-hour live show will feature a fabulous line-up of Maine Country Music Hall of Famers from all over the State of Maine.

The Maine Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum was established in 1978 and is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit cultural organization. All proceeds from this event will support the museum and its mission to preserve the legacy of its over 150 inductees and their influence on country music throughout Maine, the United States and all over the world.
