The annual Georgia National Fair has announced the performers for their concert on Oct. 13.

The headline attraction for that night will be the pop-rock band Hot Chelle Rae, who had such hits as "Tonight Tonight,","I Like it Like That" and "Honestly."

The Nashville-based band skyrocketed to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July of last year.

The opening act for the concert is Allstar Weekend. The California-based band rose to popularity with the release of their 2010 debut album "Suddenly Yours."

According to Michele Treptow, communications director for Georgia National Fair, "Bringing in Hot Chelle Rae to headline the event and Allstar Weekend was a decision to help appeal to the younger generations to get them excited about coming out to the fair."

Georgia National Fair will be organizing one additional concert and will announce details as soon as possible.

Tickets, $25 apiece, go on sale online Aug. 25.

Gray-based musician Chris Neal has broken a vertebra in his back.

The singer-songwriter says he was retrieving something from his attic, when he fell through the drywall.

Neal says he fell 20 feet, breaking his L2 vertebra and shattering his right heel as he landed.

The performer says he was grabbing some light fixtures when the accident happened. He and his wife are in the process of moving to a new home in Haddock.

Neal did not comment on what his doctors say his prognosis is.

Neal performs around Macon and Warner Robins frequently. He also made an appearance on 13WMAZ's Weekend Mornin' show with Suzanne Lawler earlier this month.

The knocking of wood and the swoosh of paint brushes fill the air. Eleven Robins Federal Credit Union managers from all over central Georgia rolled up their sleeves to build a house on Irving Avenue in Macon.

"We did some picking up int he yard earlier so that we could get the place prepared so that they can do the landscaping. The rest of the day we've been doing a lot of painting," says June Nelson from the Gray branch.

These handy heroes are all women.

"It's a great day, you know, we take a day off work. We come out here. We bond a little bit. We have some fun, we learn a little bit about home construction," says Chris Spicer from Warner Robins. 

"They've been wonderful. The girls are more productive than the boys really," says Macon Habitat Volunteer Coordinator Monty Cheshire.

They're right in the middle of the National Habitat Women Build project.
