Fortnight Festival – Can you say party!
I made it Downtown (Lexington) today for the 100 day kickoff celebration and Fortnight Festival announcements and came away impressed with the line-up. I have to say, for the non-horse music loving people the Fortnight Festival will be the biggest thing in Kentucky I am sure for several years to come and for us horse-music loving people, things just got that much more complicated. The number and variety of what I would call big name acts surprised me and I would have to believe that Dr. Lyons has some inside contact in the music industry to have pulled this together. There are a number of acts on here I would love to see because I suspect I might never get the chance again. So let me run down the list for all of you who hadn’t heard yet in order of dates (9/23 – 10/9);
