I've been to a lot of concerts and I've seen a lot of performances, but I have a hard time remembering one as electrifying as Keith Urban's last night at Country Fest. He was high energy and a lot of fun. Several times he would run into the crowd and rock out with a fan, shredding his guitar solos right there in the aisle. He also invited some fans onstage to sing "Kiss A Girl."

Cathy Kates — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:00:02 +0000

It was a 2 hour ride bouncing around in a truck. The only highlight of the ride, a stop at Dairy Queen in Ladysmith, WI...however they were OUT OF COOKIE DOUGH! Sadness :( I made due with a Reese's. We finally arrived at Country Fest, with only a minimal amount of ice cream down the front of my shirt.

Then, there was the crawling through the crowd while in our truck, trying to find our parking spot and dealing with getting our tickets, traded in for wrist bands. Walk up the hill, no backstage passes at will call yet. Down the hill. Up the hill, nope, not yet. Shopped in the Country Fest Clothing Shop.....up the hill....
