    If you go.... and fly in for this venue, fly to Phoenix and either go to Holiday Inn Express or rent a camper. It was great, but they need a dance floor for the fans. Its out in the boonies and have VERY Clean johns that FLUSH.They are serviced every day. The food is mostly fair ground type food so enjoy Indian Fry Bread, Gyros, BBQ, fresh ice cream floats  and stuff like that. Mostly carnival type of food. The music makes up for all of the rustic stuff. Great music and sound. The crowd gets pretty rowdy at night, so if you buy seats you may want to spring for VIP seating. They even have VIP that include a wonderful dinner and discounted drink tickets.

    I'm a huge country music fan, so I've been to several big country festivals including Stagecoach in CA & CMA fan fair in Nashville TN. Country Thunder is cool because they always have a REALLY GOOD lineup & if you buy your tickets early, its a steal for all 3 days.  The event is not as crowded as the other festivals so the environment isn't as fun/crazy/energetic, especially compared to Stagecoach but I would definitely come back any chance I get. I had a good time here- its more about the actual music than the festival so I can appreciate that.
    My tips- buy your tickets early & don't be alarmed, this place really is out in the middle of NOWHERE. But the positive to that is a beautiful star filed sky at night. :)
    Keep it country!

    We drove 1 1/2 hours from Tucson to Florence last night for the annual Country Thunder concert.  Once we got there we were in the middle of no where! There was nothing, but dirt roads around for miles.  It ended up being a pretty fun time. LeAnn Rimes played, as well as other country music stars. Even though it is in the middle of nowhere it is the perfect place for a concert because there is so much room for people to watch!  I'm not sure it was worth spending 3 hours in the car after a long plane ride, but overall an enjoyable experience that I would suggest  others check out this weekend  or next year.
