Gates opened at 5 pm Friday, with local bands, MuchMore Country, Lock, Stock, and Barrel and Crush playing for the crowd.
Saturday, the gates opened at 4 pm. The same three bands rotated playing the Crown Royal Stage, while in the arena the Bi-Mart Monster Truck was giving rides to concert goers, and Metal Mulisha motocross riders were performing tricks on their motorbikes for the crowd.
Several food and beverage vendors were also on hand, making sure no one would go hungry or thirsty.
The excitement of the weekend culminated with the Xtreme Muzik Mafia Tour featuring Gretchen Wilson and Big & Rich.
From the moment the first performer hit the stage, the music was non-stop; with Gretchen, Big & Rich and Cowboy Troy rotating time at the mike to perform.
Sometimes when something is billed as “extreme”, or even “big”, it falls short of what’s expected; not in this case.
Not only did Gretchen, Big Kenny and John Rich hit the stage running, they kept the high energy going the entire 90 minutes to two hours that they played. Not only that, you could actually hear the music, and their voices, and understand what was being said. So often that’s not the case at a concert.
Over all, the entire weekend was awesome, and definitely finished on an “Xtreme” high note with the Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich concert.
