Spotlight On We Fest
Soo Pass Ranch, Detroit Lakes, MN
Story and Photos by Amy Schwan and Glen Forrester

Once again Lynn Kitty and Tom Katt have definitely outdone themselves. Each year it continues to get better and better. Starting off this year with Carolina Rain, a chance meeting in a church choir turned into something awesome for this up and coming trio. On to John Anderson who is always a crowd favorite and quite frankly a We Fest regular who can certainly get the people "Swingin". It is more than certain that "Me and God" were happy to take in the tremendous vocals of Josh Turner. Not much could be better than spending your Thursday evening with Carrie Underwood. It is no wonder she can not walk away with out winning an award! Pleasant, talented, beautiful and not to mention a real rocker. She wowed the crowd with her own version of Guns and Roses getting the fans ready for the finale of the evening Mr. Alan Jackson. After 17 years and several #1 hits he continues to produce pure country.

Couldn't ask for a better Friday afternoon, Andy's Automatics, The Roosters and Hilljack started the day rockin' and it didn't stop there. The Wreckers took control of the crowd with "Leave the Pieces" and in the end they can definitely "Stand Still and Look Pretty". Due to the fact that Sawyer Brown skyrocketed to fame after winning the grand prize on Star Search it was only fitting that they surprised the crowd with a guest performance by Bucky Covington, one of the top contenders of American Idol 2006. Much of the crowd was shocked by Sheryl Crow being in the line up but she was terrific and her duet with Keith Urban made the We Festers wild! Keith ended the evening out with a superb show!

New up and coming 32Below really is "proof that country can rock". They got the party started and that was just the beginning. Heartland and Gary Allen took it to the next level to prime to people for Trace Adkins and Toby Keith. Powerful and Patriotic!! Another Delightful year at Soo Pass Ranch!! Looking forward to Feelin' Great in 2008!
