Southern Gospel Music lovers from more than 40 states and at least a half dozen countries have spent their week in the city of Louisville for the 2008 National Quartet Convention. According the NQC coordinators, ticket sales for this year’s daily showcases and evening concerts, as well as a record breaking year in exhibitor participation made this year’s event the biggest since 9/11, which occured during the NQC of 2001. Plans are already underway for the 2009 Convention, which will take place September 14 - 19 at the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center.
