Betsy and
David Stewart from Ponca City slung out their lawn chairs in the afternoon heat, using a hand-held fan and spray bottle to stay cool while soaking in
Country Fever.
All said the Red Dirt lineup brought them out to the four-day festival this year. "We've never been before," said Sicks.
Palmer is the only one braving the elements to camp, "the rest of us are roughing it at a hotel," laughed Betsy Stewart.
As Texas countryman Billy Joe Shaver performed a mid-afternoon set in long-sleeve denim shirt and dungarees, Sicks said he came "mainly for Billy Joe," but thought that this year's lineup was the most interesting he's heard about in years.
The group gets to see each other only a couple of times a year, usually when they make the trek to Winfield, Kansas, for an annual bluegrass festival. "This is the best time to see each other, because we're all here to have fun," said Betsy Stewart.
