MONEY-SAVING IDEAS / MARY HANCE / MS. CHEAP: Mary shared how you can enjoy CMA Music Fest activities for free or for very little money. There are 7 free stages of daytime music throughout downtown Nashville starting today and running through Saturday. The Buckle is where you will find free food samples, and the “Fun Team” randomly handing out T-shirts, coozies, sunglasses, temporary tattoos and other swag will be given away throughout the festival. Fan Fair X at the Music City Center has a $10 admission price, but there is a lot to do – 3 music stages, autograph sessions, panel discussions, children's activities and more.
