For those fans who've stuck it out camping at Country Jam all three days...
“It's a really interesting experience. We're kind of stuck,” says Nicole Kuenz.
“Our car got stuck, so we're living in our car right now, but on the campsite,” says her friend Tiffany Kelly.
An hour wait in line for the chance to meet their favorite bands doesn't seem too bad.
“Lo Cash Cowboys,” says Kelly.
“They're really nice and the music is amazing,” says Kuenz, about all of the bands she’s met.
Bands like the Lo Cash Cowboys say they love Country Jam as much as the fans do.
“It's incredible every year,” says one of the members of the Lo Cash Cowboys. “We love this place. It's all about these guys getting out here and hanging out with them, and signing stuff and just getting to know everybody,” he says, talking to the fans. “Like right here, did you have a good time today?”
Country Jam Organizer Kathy Wright says it's been a great year for attendance at the festival.
“On a beautiful day like today, we're letting things happen and actually just sitting back and relaxing a little bit,” says Wright.
Fans say as long as country music stars hit the stage here at Country Jam, they'll be in the seats come rain or shine.
“We enjoy the atmosphere and having fun with our family and country music,” says Candace Spindler.
“You're brought up on it, you always come back to country music, I guess,” says Leslie Sendelbach.
After all, that's how country boys, and girls, roll.
The three-day music festival experienced heavy rains on Thursday, but organizer Kathy Wright says she's confident the last two days’ attendance made up for the first day.
