Saturday's scheduled Pop-Up in Jonesboro on Monroe Street has been canceled, due to increasing rain chances. Organizers of the event say they are working on re-scheduling the event at a later date, and will let KASU news know when that date will be. You are still invited to attend the Levon Helm Tribute Concert at the Forum in Downtown Jonesboro at seven p.m. Tickets are still available for $8 at The Forum Box Office, Back Beat Music in Jonesboro and online at www.foajonesboro.org/bulletinboard.
