490 Words2 Pages

During July 19-22 of 2012, Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. It was a very hot day about 90 degrees. We were like in a middle of a hay field. I was with my best friends. There were trucks everywhere and a lot of adults and younger people drinking and dancing to country music. There were a lot of police there too. This was Country Thunder. Country Thunder is a very big music Fest for country music and it's about the same week as Country USA. I had a 4-day pass and I can see all the people who were singing. There are about 22 singers that are on the main stage and on the GAC Country Thunder Stage there about 18 singers. The GAC stage is the stage where not so “popularly” country singer play at. It was the best week of my life and I had so many great moments. …show more content…

  • Personal Narrative: My Home State, Texas

    My home state is Texas, and a problem Texas faces is an overall mindset of systemic racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Texas is a very conservative state, thus many of the policies passed by our legislation are written at the expense of women and minorities. Although I might sound highly critical of our state government, I do not believe that these negative mindsets are deliberate attempts to put others down, I feel that it is simply an ignorance to the issues women and minorities face, and a lack of empathy. Ignorance is easily countered by thorough education. The easiest way to solve this is for us constituents of these politicians, to bring the issues that affect us to the forefront.

    Well not really, the farm had holes in the fence and was in no shape for a 100,000 capacity. The stage was barley getting finished before people started slipping in through the fences. So many people did this that it was to much of a hassle to make them leave, 50,000 to be specific. This left the organizers with some problems, make the concert free or try and force 50,000 people to cough up cash. They went for the former.
