The annual fundraiser for a number of local non-profit groups attracted hundreds to the grassy area next to the Smithgall Arts Center downtown.
The event, now in its sixth year, is held in memory of Jarrard, a Gainesville native, who penned hit songs for a number of country music artists before diabetes took his life several years ago.
During the program, Congressman Nathan Deal paid special tribute to Jarrard's brother and a former law partner of Deal's, Tom Jarrard, who died earlier this year.
