Highlights from Thursday’s Country Concert
Here are some highlights of the first day of Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes.
Country duo-married couple Joey and Rory posed for pictures with fans in a formal meet-and greet setting, but the best moment was seeing the couple pose casually with a family, especially the moment where Rory helped them with their camera.
The duo also travel with their old dog, Rufus, who sniffed for a long time in the gravel to find somewhere to go.
Rockie Lynne performed in the intimate setting of The Saloon. The setting is so intimate that Rockie started handing out beer to those in front.
Little Big Town members also participated in formal photo sessions for fans. They’re positively stunning in person. Each one of them.
After their performance, they hung around backstage with many taking turns holding Kimberly Roads’ nearly-two-year-old daughter, who she was very pregnant with last time the group performed in Fort Loramie.
Little Big Town was part of another highlight. When Sugarland performed, the crowd lost it when Jennifer Nettles invited Little Big Town back on stage to sing Life in a Northern Town with them.
Sugarland alone was worth the price of admission. Nettles and Kristian Bush always have a high-energy concert, but it was even more on Thursday as Bush was in constant motion, often running across the stage. They sung their biggest hits and an 80s medley featuring Madonna, Michael Jackson and the Emotions, ‘Best of My Love.’

Wanted so badly to attend USA Karaoke Finals today to hear our youngest sing. She has a fabulous powerful voice and stage presence. Obstacles: Price of admission was only one. Since I’m limited on both walking distance and sun exposure, attending to hear a single song was another huge obstacle;also, were handicapped parking, distance to be traversed to where she is singing today.By Kim

Actually, Hickory Hills Lake campground is south of Ft. Loramie on Rt.66, just north of Newport. Be careful, the police are out in FULL FORCE around the area
