Tree Town Music Festival

I have watched the ACM’s, CMT Music Awards, and the CMA Awards since I was a little kid. I have always loved country music. After watching and listening to these artists on the television and radio, I wanted to see one of them live. My favorite singer overall was and still is George Strait, however, he retired from touring. So, I knew I could not go see him for my first concert. Well, Christmas time in 2013 came around, and my parents surprised me with tickets to the Tree Town Music Festival in Forest City, Iowa. I was so excited! I ran up to them and gave them both a huge hug. I could not believe it I was headed to my first concert not only with one or two artists but close to fifteen! The Tree Town Festival is a three-day event over memorial day weekend. The summer of 2014 could not come fast enough!

My mom’s college roommate, and her son, my mom, and I were finally headed to the concert. We were borrowing my grandma and grandpa’s camper so after we got that all set up and ready to go we made a campfire. It smelled so good! It was perfect for making s’mores. They tasted wonderful. The next morning we had some time to kill so we played many games of cards and dice. This trip was so much more than just my first concert it was like a mini-vacation. After we finished our game of cards we got in the car and headed to a large hayfield with a stage in the middle of it. The sight was indescribable. It was a field of lawn chairs, food vendors, and fun. I could not have asked for a better night. The wind was calm, the sun was warm, and the music sounded great. Each night there was a headliner that was considered to be the most famous singer with others that were not as famous but still good before the main event. Every year since we have continued to go back and have just as much fun each time. It is something I will always enjoy not only because of the music but because I get to spend it with such great
