The List for Thursday September 3rd 2020

Welcome to The List –

Labor Day is just around the corner, and the Grand Ole Opry’s own network, Circle TV, will celebrate with a stacked lineup of country music-themed “Hard-Working Heroes.” Featured artists include Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Blake Shelton and many more. Labor Day programming kicks off at 7:00 a.m. ET with a 1980s-era episode of the classic country comedy show Hee Haw, featuring the late Charlie Daniels. To cap the night off, Blake will take the stage alongside Dustin Lynch and Trace Adkins. To learn more about the Grand Ole Opry’s “Hard-Working Heroes” event, visit Circle’s website.

Speaking of Labor Day and “Jobs” what are some of the worse jobs you’ve ever had? Here’s what Eric Church told me about his worst job… “I had an awful job. I’ve had a lot of awful jobs…my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network. I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight. That was bad enough but then I would work all night, go home, shower and then I had writing appointments all day because I was trying to get a career started.

If you want to see the live action Disney movie ‘Mulan’ but don’t want to pay $30 to see it on Disney+, there’s another option…though it means waiting another three months. A help page on the Disney+ customer support website says that “Mulan” will be available for free to Disney+ subscribers starting on December 4. Before then, subscribers will have to purchase a “Premier Access” pass for $29.99 to see the film, which will be released tomorrow.

Carole Baskin will be one of the dancers on season 29 of Dancing With The Stars…She says she joined the cast because her life has been a nightmare since “Tiger King” premiered and tells us that while on the show she hopes the light that should have been shone on the cats during Tiger King will happen now. “Dancing With The Stars” returns September 14th.

Hamilton, Ozzie and Mickey

One of our KIX Critters of the week is Hamilton!

He is a 5-year-old mixed breed who came in as a stray, and he’s ready to start a new chapter in his life with someone special.

This shy guy may need some time to warm up, but with patience and love, he’ll reward you with loyalty and affection. Hamilton is a true outdoors enthusiast! He loves spending time outside, where he begins to come out of his shell and show his playful side. He’s looking for a patient and understanding person who can help him build trust and confidence.

Good news for dog lovers – Hamilton does well with other dogs! If you already have a dog, we’ll arrange a meet and greet to make sure they’re a perfect match.

Hamilton's adoption fee is 50% off the normal price!!

Hamilton and his buddy Ripley!
