In case you're not familiar with the annual country music festival. It attracts about 20,000 people for the two-day event, which takes place adjacent to the Winsted Airport at 3233 230th St., Winsted. What sets the festival apart from other similar events is that it is organized entirely by volunteers. All proceeds from the festival are used to help fund private education for students from Winsted and the surrounding communities.
