I was a first time hodager last year and had the time of my life.I like how they let you bring in your own bevrage and let you go in front of the stage.I also went to country jam the following weekend and it was nothing like hodag.there beverages there are outrageous and they don't let you in front of the stage.so i just want to thank the people at hodag for the way they do things and to please never change it.I will be going to hodag for now on and save my money from all the other music fest that rip you off
