| Brooks & Dunn always put on an awesome show. Full of confetti, streamers, blow-up objects and lots of awesome songs. There were tons of people there that when my mom came back from home around 8, there was no more room to park in the parking lot! She ended up parking by the CMT truck closer to the grounds. Good thing she parked there, we were able to get out fast with little waiting. As we were leaving, I could see all the cars trying to get out of the parking lot and they weren't moving very fast! Thank you CMT Truck! :) Fest was also mentioned on a few country music news sites! Brooks & Dunn have been drawing huge crowds throughout their Neon Circus and Wild West Show tour, but nobody was quite prepared for the record-setting attendance they racked up this past weekend in Wisconsin. Headlining Saturday's Chippewa Valley Country Festival in Cadott, special arrangements had to be made to accommodate the crowds. Ronnie Dunn notes, quote, "We were told that in Cadott, they had to rent another 40 acres of adjacent farm land to accommodate the extra cars. Everywhere you looked, it was a blanket of people -- and everybody was having a really good time. It was big fun out there. Really big fun." Attendance each night was estimated at well 30,000 fans, breaking all records for the festival. (T-100) In Cadott, the promoter says, "We broke all records in ticket sales, beer and liquor concessions, everything." said Michael Asher, co-owner and general manager of the 15-year old Cadott Country Fest.

| "Neon Moon" |
| That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart I put my right hand here on this beer And swear on this bar I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying I ain't moaning the blues I wouldn't lie to you Now that's the honky tonk truth |
| She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood And two big speakers blasting Johnny B. Goode Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime She plays with my heart and messes with my mind Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle Rock my world little Country girl |
| When the sun goes down On my side of town That lonesome feeling Comes to my door The whole world turns blue |
| There's a rundown bar Cross the railroad tracks I've got a table for two Way in the back Where I sit alone And think of losing you |
| Ronnie and his "Neon Moon" guitar rocks! |
