Good morning and good day fellow Steemians. This is part 2 of my blog of the central WI Rock Fest 2017. The weather was much nicer today as we were able to get out of our sweatshirts and into some shorts, tank tops, and enjoy the sunshine. Day 1's weather was definitely nothing to brag about, but today was beautiful and everyone enjoyed it. The stages also produced some awesome sounds as groups like Avatar, Clutch, Korn, and the featured performer Avenged Sevenfold took the stage. And as the main stage performers were transitioning the side stages were hard at it keeping everyone entertained. All this made for a music festival of 13 hours of non-stop music. And at times all 4 of the side stages were going as well which made the air rich with the sounds of drums, guitars, and singing as well as maybe the occasional smell of cannabis. Hmmmm, now we couldn't have that at a rock fest could we?
The people are amazing! This is like a modern day Woodstock with people from all over the country. I met folks from as far away as Alaska today. These folks literally take their vacations with this trip in mind and they start preparing for the next years trip the day they get back from this years. We are talking some HARDCORE rockers here. And dedicated to Rock Fest as well. And I don't blame them. The staff that has put years, (27), into making Rock fest has got this down pretty good. They pretty much have a contingency plan in place for every and any situation, and have handled them all wonderfully.
So today I'm posting the pics gathered from the days events. I maybe should get more of the stage and the artists, but you know? I like getting the people who make the artists famous. If it weren't for the fans, those who support the artists by coming to these events and buying their CD's and going to the clubs where they are performing, well, they wouldn't be famous now would they? So if you would like to see more of the bands in my posts you can always ask for them, but for the time being I'm giving those who put their love of music and the artists center stage.
So now to take center stage........ROCK FEST 2017 PART 2!!!
The gate people are just as wild and crazy as the fans!
This is Spartacus Durant giving a fan a memento that will last a life time. The Tattoo artists were busier that ever with folks wanting a lasting memory.
Everyone meet Spartacus, Spartacus meet everyone....
This is Jennifer with determination to "Get it right!
These folks came from The North Dakota. That's Deb on the left and I think Matt? on the right.
Jammin' at the campsite, There was a lot of this everywhere you went. If they didn't have the guitars out, they had the stereos blasting.
This was my favorite vehicle at the fest...1960? Chevy Parkwood wagon
Cold beer, sunshine and good friends....who could ask for a better weekend?
Lunch time!
I don't think the pool is big enough. LOL
Taking a break in the shade with the one you love.
Chilling under the misting spray waiting for the next main stage show.
The windmill was beautiful and I don't know that this picture does it justice.
I think some people even met Jesus at the festival.
One of the many bands and artists that were performing. Sorry I can't remember their name.
And this is Matt. I have to put this pic in because if it weren't for fella's like this, the grounds wouldn't be as clean as they are. When you go to events, don't just take it for granted that the grounds clean themselves. It takes a team of people to pick up what others leave behind, So this is a BIG shout out to those who do just that. And the next time you are out at an event, PLEASE, pick up after yourself and leave your area the same as you would if it were your own house or property.
So there you have it, Day 2 of Rock Fest 2017 in Cadott, WI. I hope that you liked the pics and that you are enjoying my commentary of the events.
