Other nominees for Festival of the Year include Country Thunder in Florence, Ariz.; Faster Horses in Brooklyn, Mich.; WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn.; and Windy City Smoke Out in Chicago.
Country Concert organizers said in a statement: “We owe this nomination to and share it with the fans, superstars— their agents, road crews and teams— sponsors, organizations, everyone that helps and trusted friends that have been with us for every or nearly every Country Concert.”
K99.1FM, a product of Cox Media Group Ohio, is a partner in the annual country fest.
“This is a well-deserved recognition for the folks at Country Concert in Fort Loramie. K99.1 FM has been a proud partner for many years, and we are thrilled for the Barhorst family. It's a wonderful testament to what Mike started many many years ago,” said Nancy Wilson with K99.
