Can anyone assist me please!
Im from England & amad Country music fan but country music isn’t very popular here. Approx 12 yrs back I went to a country music “concert” or festival at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida & thought the day was fantastic. I really fancy going somewhere for something similar (perhaps in august 2008) or I will wait until next year. Where can I obtain a list of “Country Thunder” or regular info on country music festivals. I like all the mainstream artists: Sugarland, Tim McGar, REBA WOW!),Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood etc. Sorry that its such a long question, but Im desperate for info as Im getting no younger!!
Thanks to anyone that takes the trouble in responding. Geoff

I never got a refund.I wonder if my so called free tickets for this years Country Thunder Texas will be refunded since it rained last year during a rain or shine event.They called it a act of god last year when it was really just bad infrastructure.I guess they skated out with my money.I’ll find out if they (Country Thunder USA) a just a bunch of cons or will I get my money back.They have refused in the past.

So, can anyone tell us why the Country Thunder concert in Texas has been cancelled?!? This is the second year in a row. Last year it was a rain out because it was terribly muddy and the place it was being held wasn’t set up like they were doing this year. We did get a partial refund plus VIP for Thursday, but now we have just found out it cancelled and they will not say why!

As the guy “hawking” BBQ turkey legs, I gotta tell you - Island Noodles is outstanding. Hale, Mike and the flaming wok definitely add something new to traditional carnival fare.

Only thing I can say is: wish I’d of thought of his idea!

Great times, good food and of course the music…

Thanks East Valley Tribune, see ya next year!
