Clarksville’s Maddie Poppe is in the finals of American Idol. The top 5 contestants performed live Sunday night, but only 3 of them moved on to next week’s two-part finale: Maddie Poppe, Gabby Barrett and Caleb Lee Hutchinson. A free parade and pep rally is scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday in downtown Clarksville to support Maddie making it to the final 3. That will be followed by a free concert at 6:30 p.m at the Butler County Fairgrounds in Allison. Space is limited to first-come, first-serve.
Organizers said the event will happen at the grandstand rain or shine. Limited food and water will be available to buy and no alcoholic beverages will be allowed.
