The Back of The Roys' Tour Bus
You may see this post and ask yourself, “What in the world is this?” Actually Christmas 4 Kids Bus Tour is a way for fans to see the tour buses that musicians live on while on tour. Not only does the fan get to walk into the living quarters of the artists, but the artists are also on the buses ready to meet and greet the fans, sign autographs, and take photos with them. Every year this event takes place to raise money for under privileged children in the Nashville TN area. Each selected child will receive $150 to spend at the Hendersonville, TN Walmart (where the buses were parked). This is a great way to raise money so these children may enjoy Christmas and for fans to meet many music artists. Enjoy the photos taken by Mike Arnold.
