Grab your boots and hat and prepare to scootin' boogie. The Taste of Country Music Festival is right around the corner and here's how to get there.

If you're anything like me and don't get out much- let alone, the state of Maine, then when I say the fest will be at Hunter Mountain in Hunter, NY- you may be like 'Whaaaaat, where's that at?' Just follow the handy-dandy map above, provided by the lovely folks at Google and you shall see.

The Taste of Country Music Festival is set for June 13th - 15th, 2013.
