In this day and age of our sport, it isn't often you find a large event that combines the fun and excitement of offroading, bluergrass & country music and a charity all wrapped up in one, especially in a very rural area deep in coal country.
Halfway to Hazzard is just that. In it's second year, the event looked forward to toping its inagural numbers which were amazing to say the least. Over 7500 people attended the first event and this years numbers were as good or better.
Some of Kentucky's finest would be on hand to make sure things remained in check as some big name stars would be on the list of preformers! The event is 100% family oriented and alcohol free which helped keep everyone focused on the music and good times as the day got underway
The event was held near Hazard county Kentucky, and the area has raised the main attraction for this event, the band Halfway to Hazard. The band got its big break on Tim and Faith Hill's country music show and since then has skyrocketed up the charts while remaining loyal to its home town.
While big names draw tons of fans, the attraction and support for H2H was undeniable. Yhe schwag tossed to the crowd through out the day would garner a few lucky folks a keep sake or two.
If you like bluegrass, you could get your fill of it here. Local and national artist preformed throughout the day. While many may not particuliarly view this as a hot attraction, for this region its a steeple of culture and was a very enjoyable day even for those that may not find this genre' of music at the top of their list.
The good life for sure. Good friends, good music and a comfy chair to take it all in. The crowd built all day long with many staking their claim to a particuliar spot far in advance of the nights big event
I soon found myself toe tappin' with everyone else, I geuss it's a good thing I enjoy a wide range of music
