(Previous pic of the festival). The people are that "thick" everywhere.

My next show is the "KCQ Country music fest, on OJIBWAY island. I know I mentioned it before, but for those who haven't read those blogs, I will repeat a bit.

This island, draws 80,000 people. It's a small island in Saginaw Michigan. It's a FREE Country Music festival. I'm personally not into that County music crap (I am Hard rock/Heavy Metal), but I am a huge fan of "Making money".. lol.

They have "lots of bands", and most all are superstars. They have two stages where they play. My booth will be off to the side, but in the middle of the two. I can watch the concerts from where I work. I am not kidding, there are so many people.. you can't hardly move.

I am Lucky I am a vendor. I am allowed to drive to the island (at one place, it's close so a small bridge). Most people have to walk "miles" from where they parked. Me, I can have my car right there.. lol.

I expect to sell over 200 necklaces that day. It's June 20th. The majority will me custom orders I make there, but I want to have alot of designs too that they can just buy. We have been scheduling alot of huge festivals this year. This one is the first "big" one of the year. We ordered over 300 chains, 72 keychains, A new saw for me. Lots of other stuff. I probably already have over $2500 in stock on the displays. Like I said before, this summer should be pretty good. I feel like I'm "Back in the Saddle again".. lol.

THE MAIN STARS THIS YEAR ARE:

Travis Tritt..
Hit songs: "Help Me Hold On", "I'm Gonna Be Somebody", "Anymore", "Can I Trust You with My Heart", "Foolish Pride", "Best of Intentions", "It's a Great Day to Be Alive", "Love of a Woman", "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)"

Jamey Johnson..
Hit Songs: "The Dollar", "Revelicious", "In Color" and "High Cost of Living"

Jessica Andrews..
Hit songs: "Who I Am", "Unbreakable Heart", "There's More To Me Than You", "Summer Girl" and "Everything"

We are gonna get some pics and post. I don't expect to be meeting any of the stars (like I do at alot of shows), because I will be super busy. Anyway, the show is June 20th. I'm probably not gonna do a show next week. I want to be making stock for these "busy ones", as well as do some gardening.

Take care all, Gary :)
