<\/p>\nCountry in the Park is set to take over Cal Expo on May 8-9<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMOUNTAIN SHOWERS. ALL RIGHT. IT\u2019S ALMOST THAT TIME OF YEAR FOR COUNTRY IN THE PARK. CAN SEE THE BIG WEEKEND. AND THERE WILL BE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT CAL EXPO IN SACRAMENTO AND LOTS OF BIG ARTISTS. AND WE\u2019RE TALKING MIRANDA LAMBERT AND JON PARDI, OUR LOCAL COUNTRY SUPERSTAR. THAT\u2019S COMING UP MAY 8TH AND NINTH, JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AND A HALF AWAY. AND WE\u2019VE GOT ONE 05.1 KODY ROBINSON HERE. AND OF COURSE, WE PUT OUR BOOTS ON FOR THIS. WE GOT OUR BOOTS ON. WE ARE READY TO GO FOR COUNTRY IN THE PARK. THIS IS A BIG YEAR TO HAVE NOT ONLY JON PARDI BUT MIRANDA LAMBERT. NO, I\u2019M REALLY, REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR AGAIN. IT\u2019S NEXT WEEKEND, MAY 8TH AND NINTH FRIDAY NIGHT, WHICH IS WITH JON PARDI, WHO\u2019S LOCAL. YOU KNOW, HE\u2019S FROM DIXON. IT\u2019S ALMOST SOLD OUT. I\u2019M NOT JUST SAYING THAT TO SELL TICKETS LIKE YOU WANT TO GET YOUR TICKET RIGHT NOW, OR AT LEAST BY THIS WEEKEND, SO YOU DON\u2019T MISS OUT ON ALL THE FUN. SATURDAY NIGHT IS OBVIOUSLY SELLING VERY WELL WITH MIRANDA LAMBERT. WE\u2019RE SO EXCITED TO SEE HER. I SAW KAMERON MARLOWE ON STAGE AT STAGECOACH. I WAS WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM AT HOME AND I WAS LIKE, HE\u2019S PERFORMING SATURDAY NIGHT AS WELL. AND I WAS LIKE, I DIDN\u2019T REALIZE HOW GOOD HE IS. SO I\u2019M JUST SO EXCITED. I\u2019M STILL LEARNING SO MUCH MORE ABOUT ALL THE ARTISTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE OUT THERE. TEN TOTAL AGAIN NEXT WEEK, MAY 8TH AND NINTH. SO YOU GET TEN ARTISTS. SO I MEAN, IF YOU DIDN\u2019T MAKE IT TO STAGECOACH, NO PROBLEM, BECAUSE THIS IS BASICALLY SACRAMENTO STAGECOACH ABSOLUTELY IS, BUT BETTER AND A LOT CHEAPER BECAUSE GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS ARE ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY\u2019RE UNDER $75 FOR GENERAL ADMISSION. SO I FEEL LIKE THAT\u2019S VERY AFFORDABLE IN TODAY\u2019S ECONOMY. YEAH, THAT\u2019S LIKE $7 AN ACT. I MEAN, YOU CAN BARELY GET A LATTE FOR THAT ANYMORE. ISN\u2019T THAT THE TRUTH? WHICH IS WHY YOU NEED TO COME OUT TO COUNTRY IN THE PARK. WE WANT TO SEE EVERYONE THERE, WHICH IS WHY WE MAKE THEM AFFORDABLE. WE TAKE PRIDE IN THAT. SO YOU CAN GET YOUR TICKETS RIGHT NOW. FEST. WHAT\u2019S LEFT AGAIN? I\u2019M NOT KIDDING. THEY ARE SELLING WELL, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET YOURS SOONER THAN LATER. AND YOU\u2019VE SOLD OUT MANY YEARS BEFORE. THIS IS THE BIG ONE BECAUSE YOU USUALLY HAVE TWO. YOU HAVE KIND OF A MINI ONE IN THE FALL. AND THIS IS THE BIG COUNTRY IN THE PARK IN MAY. YEP. THIS IS OUR BIG TWO DAY FESTIVAL. THIS IS THE BIG ONE. A LOT MORE THAN JUST MUSIC TOO. YEAH, YEAH. AND THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE OUR BIGGEST YEAR YET WITH IN TERMS OF AUDIENCE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE OUT THERE. SO IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THAT FUN, YOU WANT TO BE WATCHING IT ON INSTAGRAM AND THINKING TO YOURSELF, I MISSED OUT, OKAY, THIS IS SACRAMENTO\u2019S PREMIER COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL AND WE WANT TO SEE THERE. SO IN ADDITION TO LIKE FOOD TRUCKS, WHAT KIND OF THINGS WILL YOU HAVE THERE AT THE FESTIVAL? THERE\u2019S ALWAYS A TON OF ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE CORNHOLE, WE HAVE ROCK CLIMBING. WE HAVE AX THROWING. THERE IS A BUNCH OF FESTIVITIES AS WELL. AND HONESTLY, JUST IT\u2019S A WHOLE FESTIVAL GROUND. WE HAVE BOUTIQUES OUT THERE TOO. IT\u2019S FUN JUST TO WALK AROUND AND ALSO THEN EXPERIENCE THE COUNTRY. I WAS GOING TO SAY I GOT A REALLY CUTE HAT AT ONE OF THE BOUTIQUES LAST YEAR. THERE\u2019S REALLY GOOD SHOPPING THAT YOU CAN. ABSOLUTELY, YES. SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TOO. GATES OPEN AT ONE BOTH DAYS. ALL RIGHT. CODY ROBINSON FROM KNCI10 5.1. OUR RADIO PARTNERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. AND AGAIN COUNTRY PARKS COMING UP MAY 8TH AND NINTH AT CAL EXPO AT THE OLD RACETRACK. THERE AGAIN, JON PARDI AND MIRA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
