I have great news for classic and current Country music fans!

First, Alan Jackson's Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Exhibit has been extended. The second piece of good news is that the Luke Bryan Exhibit is coming to the Country Music Hall of Fame in May!

Alan Jackson's stay was supposed to end in March, but unlike when we visit the in-laws, his stay has been extended until June 21st. The prized 55 Ford Thunderbird that he bought when he was 15 will be put back on display to celebrate the extended run.

The museum also will be running a special Valentine's Day contest. The car, which Alan drove when he took his future wife Denise on their first date, will be on display from February 8th-16th.

You can share your own first date stories for a chance to win a romantic Valentine's weekend getaway to Nashville. Go here to find out how.

Now, in May, Luke Bryan's life and career will be on display with a new exhibit. It's called 'This is Luke Bryan'. As I mentioned, it'll open in May and run through November. He's been on quite the roll lately.

His 'Crash My Party' album had 6 singles that all hit number 1 on the charts! He's going to co-host the ACM's for the 4th straight year with Blake Shelton and he's also up for ACM Entertainer of the Year.

Sometimes I think back to his beginnings when he was opening up for Gretchen Wilson at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.

My suggestion is to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame between May and June 21st. That way you can enjoy both. Keep in mind, if you need someone to tag along with you, I'm always looking for a reason to go to Nashville.

Once again if you go to the Hall, look for Ambassador (a fancy word for tour guide) Jeffrey A. He's a former Hawk jock! Tell him I sent you. No, it won't get you any special deal, but you never know.
