Caption by Phil Bonyata The rather large boot print of Country Thunder has been cast again in the dry farm fields of Twin Lakes, WI. Getting ever stronger every year the festival has been selling out well in advance. The crowds reached 33,000 revelers every day of the four day event.Some heavy-hitters (and not so heavy-hitters) of Country Music like Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Gary Allen, Brantley Gilbert, Thompson Square and Thomas Rhett mostly did a good job of laying some musical heat down for the audience. The drawback again this year was that there were so few female artists and old-school country stars. It seems that the average age of Country Thunder gets younger and younger every year (which might explain the lack of graying legends on stage). It appears that the massive "party" on the festival grounds and especially the campgrounds has, for many become more important than the music itself.
