Event
Information:
Country Fest is a major music
festival that is held every year
right around late June in Cadott,
Wisconsin. Over thousands of people
attend this music festival that was
started in 1987. There have been
numerous famous artists that have
performed at Country Fest that
include; Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney,
George Strait, and Carrie Underwood.
Every year since 1987 country music
fans have been flocking to Cadott, a
little Wisconsin town of 1,345
people. Every summer towards the end
of June, the famous concert known as
Country Fest is held there.
The
event consists of four fun-filled
days of hanging out with friends,
meeting new people, “roughing it” at
a camp site and sleeping in a tent.
This is a great excuse for people to
get out of their town and do
something new, but most importantly,
have the time of their lives
listening to their favorite music.
Country Fest is not an inexpensive
event. The price of a four day adult
general admission ticket is $165.
Additionally, there is a $20 fee to
park and another $95 for a four day
general admission camping ticket.
Many people find it easier to go
with a group of people and split the
cost of parking and camping to save
money on their expenses. Although it
is not required to get a camp site,
most people prefer to do so because
of the outdoors experience and the
fun that goes along with the
concerts. Ordering tickets and
reserving a camp site is a short,
easy task. Just log on to
countryfest.com to place an order
and the tickets will arrive in days.
Country Fest attracts all ages, but
their primary consumers consist of
young adults, mainly over the age of
the legal drinking age, twenty one.
The four main sponsors include;
Miller Lite, Captain Morgan and Jack
Daniels and Pepsi.
However, it is important to
recognize that there is a security
check at the gates for anything that
is related to drugs, alcohol or
weapons. Many people who attend
Country Fest make sure to leave with
a souvenir such as a hat or shirt to
recall the memorable event. Country
fest is known to be one of the top
country concerts with the hottest
country artists. There will be a
wide variety of outstanding talent
at the 2008 Country Fest this coming
summer that should not be missed.
The 2008 lineup is fantastic. Kenny
Chesney, who has been nominated for
twenty six awards and has received
eighteen, six of these awards have
been for Entertainment of the Year,
which is an outstanding
accomplishment. Brooks and Dunn, who
have received an astounding
fifty-two awards, have just released
a new album. Cowboy Town will be
performing as well. Sugarland (who
will also be attending) ended a six
year reign as Vocal Duo of the year
for Brooks and Dunn. Other big
artists include American Idol
contestant Kellie Picker, Miranda
Lambert, Emerson Drive, Trace
Adkins, and Billy Currington. Each
Country Artist will include songs
from both of their old and new
albums. It is always exciting to
hear their latest songs, but it’s
even better to hear familiar songs
to sing and dance along to. Many
people would agree that Country Fest
is the chance of a lifetime.
