Ep. 22 @ The Heart of Country Music Fest w/ Heather and Brian Arlinghaus, Derek Alan and John Morgen

Joe Pa sits down with John Morgen, Derek Alan, Heather Arlinghaus and Brian Arlinghaus at the Kenton County Fair Grounds just days before the Heart of Country Music Festival in Independence KY. They've been hard at it and we're so appreciative of them to take a break from their long list of things to do to talk to us. We didn't mention the Food for Thought Que's-Day Quote so we'll leave it here. “You can wave your signs in protest about America taking stands. The stands America’s taken are the reasons you can.” -Clint Black Clint Black, Justin Moore, Carly Pearce and many more to take the stage this year, as well as John and Derek! They discuss how it all came together and what their inspiration for putting this together is. Logistically, mentally, and physically, putting together a show of this magnitude is not an easy task but they're doing it so gracefully. There's 2 stages, local food and drink vendors, merch tables, cornhole, sketch artist, roping games and a mechanical bull! That's right, a mechanical bull! Some of the local businesses that make it possible are Arlinghaus Plumbing, Heating, Air and Electric, One Holland Group, Gotta Go and Delightful Days. No trains this week but it's nice to be out of the Lucky Ky BBQ Kitchen/Shop for a change of pace. Thanks again for letting us come out gang and we can't wait for this weekend!
