For most, they remember Toby Keith for songs like “Beer for My Horses”, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”, and “As Good as I Once Was”. But the legacy of Keith went far beyond selling over 40 million albums and becoming a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. He also spent a great deal of time supporting the armed forces. If that wasn’t enough, he even established the OK Kids Korral in Oklahoma City to help kids battling cancer. And recently, not just honoring Keith but looking to spread a little joy, Zach Top stopped by the center for an unforgettable meet and greet.
