The Friday Short List
TODAY
Hayseed Dixie

Cars, trucks, motorcycles and race cars -- running from antiques to wild custom jobs -- pull into the Roanoke Civic Center for an annual benefit for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. 5 to 10 p.m., and continuing through the weekend. $8; $3, kids 6-12; Free, under 6. 772-3237.
