For 50 years the Bob Wills Foundation in Turkey, Texas, has endeavored to preserve the legacy of the King of Western Swing, Bob Wills.
Thanks to a few individuals in the early 1970s Turkey was able to celebrate Bob Wills before his passing and be a small part of his legacy for years to come.
Dr. Charles Townsend, the last living founder, continues the work of these individuals today preserving and celebrating the legacy of Bob Wills and bringing thousands of people to Turkey on the Last Saturday in April.
