Early this morning a trailer and tour bus created a buzz around BelAirs 'n Burgers along Hwy. 380 in Princeton. Parked on the eastern side of the restaurant the trailer spelled out for the city the celebrity to whom it belonged. The words "ALAN JACKSON" were painted across its side in bold, red letters.
 
By 11 a.m. people could be spotted taking pictures near the bus and trailer, even before word had officially broken wether Jackson himself was on the scene. The people of Princeton seemed excited to be in the presumed presence of one of country music's biggest stars.
 
Rick Prince, owner of Texas Muscle Cars, has sold several cars to Jackson who he said is a classic car enthusiast. When asked about his celebrity client Prince would not confirm wether or not Jackson was in Princeton. He simply said that associates were there on behalf of Jackson to transport one of his cars.
 
For safety and privacy reasons Jackson never stepped off his bus, yet his trailer's presence seemed to send a wave of excitement through the city all on its own. Several businesses in town were already abuzz with the story when word finally spread around noon that Jackson had indeed been on the bus. Shortly after twelve both Jackson's trailer and bus drove away, with one of Princeton's biggest, covert guests on board.
 
Lest anyone be too disappointed, diehard fans can still catch a glimpse  of the Grammy award-winning artist. They will just have to do so at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo tomorrow.
