Stagecoach Country Music Festival 2008!

Photobucket

Lauren got last minute (free!) tickets to the Stagecoach festival (its basically Coachella for country music) from one of her coworkers whose brother works for the concert promoter. It was at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, CA (Palm Springs) where Coachella was the weekend before - even the set-up was the same. Lauren LOVES country music and couldn't wait to see many of her favorites! Some of the acts were: Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, Big & Rich, The Judds, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and Lauren's personal favorite - Rascal Flatts. Here are some pictures of our 2 days of Stagecoach festivities...
