Great another thing to make his ego bigger. If I remember correctly he was too good for Lamar County High School thus went elsewhere. Now he's one of us huh, ha.

I hope this statement is not true. You should never forgot where you came from. It's called roots! It seems so many young folks want to get so far away when they graduate only to want to come back as you get older. Just remember the experiences that you have in live make you who you are or will be.

He never left lamar county. He simply finish high school at a private school. Don't see anything wrong with a good education...

#5.2.1 Kristin on 09/02/11 at 06:51 AM

Where did I say anything about private education? I said graduate and leave. Maybe you should read the post again. I am talking about the part of not wanting to participate at the High School even if he didn't go there that's sad that he wouldn't do a show there.

I think Hunter should be given credit for trying to better himself and do something with his life, rather than just sitting around and commenting on barnesville.com like all of us are doing!

Please let me set the record straight, especially to #5.2.1. As his mother, Hunter is not even aware that I provided the information for the paper when requested. I had thought that Lamar County and Barnesville would have been interested that a kid that grew up and lives in Barnesville was nominated for this prestigious award and would want to help him win by voting and have a local named Georgia Country Teen Artist of the Year. I am proud of Hunter's singing ability and with the fact that he is getting recognition for it.
Hunter grew up in Lamar County and still lives here. Hunter has NEVER been asked to do a show with, for or at the High School. Also, Hunter has never been asked to play at Buggy Days. He was asked to do the "Summer Sizzle" make-up Buggy Day show following the rain-out a few years back and did participate for free. He also gave his time by playing at Benefest to benefit the Lamar County tornado victims which most citizens did not attend and missed a wonderful line-up of artist. Hunter is proud of being from Barnesville. In fact, if you look at his videos at all of his performances, when he is introduced, he proudly states that he is from Barnesville, GA. I would love to have Barnesville and Lamar County to wish Hunter the best in his future endeavors.

Well said Mom!! I agree, let's support our local talent.

Janice and I have known Hunter for several years. We find him to be a solid young man well mannered and polite. We're sad to say we've never heard him perform but are told he is very talented. It's unfortunate some reflect their negativity thru their comments on this post. We personally wish Hunter the best in the future in his endevors - especially in his music. WELL DONE, Hunter!!!!!!!!!!!

OK all you haters Hunter has talent!! He is a home town talent no matter what any of you haters think!! How do I know I am from Barnesville,GA. born there in 1959 and a twin brother to go with me and DOC T delivered us!
I no longer live in Barmesville I live in Kentucky BUT I don't deny my roots nor has Hunter!
The only threat to people saying this BS is they know Hunter has talent has what it takes and whomever your supporting does not!! So please get over it and realize a good talent!!
