Wind, rain don’t dampen spirits at Country Concert
A steady rain didn’t deter any of the partying at Country Concert 2010, but that really isn’t a surprise, is it?
About 14,000 people showed up Thursday, July 8 for the beginning of the three-day outdoor concert featuring headliners Hank Williams, Jr. Trace Adkins and Keith Urban. The event has been held at Hickory Hill Lakes Campground near Fort Loramie for three decades.
The Band Perry kicked things off at 4 p.m. and were followed by Joe Nichols. No sooner had he finished “What’s a Guy Gotta Do” than did it start blowing and raining, sending people in cowboy hats and bikini tops searching for shelter.
“We might get wet, but we’re gonna have fun,” Nichols told the crowd.
Kristen Fike, Tabby Reveal and Heather Selanders are sorority sisters who have been to the concert every year for the past nine years.
They wished they had brought a change of dry clothes, but were still having fun.
“The rain makes everyone livelier,” Fike said. “They pep up a bit.”
Selanders looked forward to seeing Urban on Saturday.
“I’m a Keith Urban fan,” she said. “Hardcore.”
The concert resumes on Friday, July 9 with Steel Magnolia performing at 4 p.m.
