Funny Hoedown Moments

What was the funniest thing (or person) you've ever seen at Hoedown? (This forum is moderated so your comments will not immediately appear)

Last year when Luke came out in a tank top that stated he was the future Mrs. Grunwald that made our night

Two girls fighting over beads...hilarious

I love the hoedow i am coming this year GET READY

I was in The VIP spot Joe throu HIS Garty Pick at me I was soo happy i shoud all my friends it was soo much i can not wait for this year i am soo reedy i am calling all my friends

Jo Dee Messina singing "Bring on The Rain" while its pouring rain on everyone!! lol

It actually wasn't all that funny..but it kinda was.. I had thrown a rose up on stage and almost tripped the Brad Mattes from Emerson Drive.

I am very happy to hear that things are going back the way they used to be. You dont know how many people you made happy. I have heard on many occasions that people were not going to attend this year if it were the same as last year. Thanks alot. I can not wait till May! I have been attending the Hoedown 20 years. It actually has been a family tradition. keep up the good work!

Any chance that Garth will decide to drop by with his wife and maybe sing a song or two?

Jason the 300 pound cowboy dancing on the stage! Too funny

Bums fighting for pop bottles and drunks stumbling around are some of my favorite Hoedown memories. Let's hope Garth makes a surprise appearance!!!!

Definitely when Luke Bryan appeared on stage wearing the "Future Mrs Grunwald" tank top!! So glad to hear the Roadhouse is gone!!

we've been coming for 18 years and every year is great and only greats better...Happy Hoedown Peeps

Every year there is a guy at the hoe down with patches all over his pants, my one daughter says he a hippy stuck in the past. our family comes down there to hart plaza every year. we live 70 to 75 miles away but its worth it ,cant wait for this years hoedown.

When W4 had the Hoedown for the final time I wondered would it be banished forever when the format flipped and Country went away from WWWW-FM.

I am so so happy to hear the stages are back the way they were! This does mean you're putting the main stage back up top, right? Where everyone can see. Last year you couldnt even see the performers unless you were lucky enough to be in the pit. Had to watch them from the tv screens you had set up and still had a hard time hearing them. Ive been going to hoedown every year for quite some time as it is usually on my birthday weekend, and after last year, I almost called it quits. Dont get me wrong, the show is fabulous, but the crowds were almost unbearable which I believe had a lot to do with lack of seating area where the Roadhouse was. I was trapped in the vendor area for quite some time. Couldnt even move. By the time I got free, I was headed straight to the back by the river. Was the only place you could move without being trampled. But you could barely hear from back there. Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you! One other thing....autographs. I didnt really think it was fair that for some of the autograph sessions, you had to buy a cd to get the autograph. Should be first come, first serve whether you made a purchase or not. Thoguht that was the whole point of the hoedown....FREE. I stood in line for an hour and a half to get the Wreckers autograph before I was told I HAD to buy a cd. Needless to say, I couldnt afford to buy a cd due to the cost of me travelling to be at the hoedown and paying for my hotel. Some of us spend a lot of money just to come. I missed an hour and a half of the show onstage to be in that line. Then Joe Nichols... I stood in line forever and it was quite cold that day, and then come to find out, he went to a Tigers game? Hope the autographs go a little smoother this year too! Just so you know, Im not trying to sound like Im whining. All in all you guys are doing a great job! Just givin ya a little heads up as to what could be slightly improved. I know it's a big job to set all this up. But if someone doesnt say anything, how are you to know there's an issue? Thanx for taking the time to hear me out. Keep up the good work! Hotel is booked! See y'all there! YEEEEEEHAWWWW!

Thank you for puting on the hoedown every yeat, I am been coming since it was in Wyandotte many years ago and would not miss it. I also enjoyed working as a vonelteer, it was fun helping out.

Glad to hear stage will be back on top! Now Maybe I'll be able to find some gal to dance the nights away down in the pit area!!!!! GOT ABOUT 18yrs going there Yeeeeehaww Baby!!!

what time does the fun start

we've been coming from lima oh. for over 20years and we always enjoyed the older man with long grey hair and bandana....he would have the most fun of anyone...he always stood facing the crowd and danced and waited for someone to wave at him...he would get so happy...he was harmless and maybe homeless...Iv'e missed seeing him the last couple years...we always called him Indian JOE ...may god bless him!!!

Several years ago we huddled under a piece of plastic with coats and gloves in freezing rain to hear George Jones...we froze but it was worth it ...he was cold too ...he kept saying"bless your heart"...he did a great show ...i'd do it over to see himagain...

Never been to hoedown but sounds like a blast. Does anyone have any info on start times?

So glad you guys listened to the masses and changed things back to the way they were. Last year was probably the least amount of fun I've had at the hoedown in many years. Rule of thumb......if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Thanks again, see ya in May.

When lil big town came out last year and played boondocks, what a performance. The crowd was still going crazy for about 5 minutes after the song was over and they left the stage that they came back out and played it again. very excited for this year. itcan only get better!!!!

Looking forward to seeing Whiskey Falls at this year's Hoedown! Great new band that I would like to hear more of on WYCD.

Why isn't Danielle Peck going to be at the Hoedown this year?! She is amazing!! I am very excited that Gretchen Wilson is coming back!!!! :-)

WE were high school sweethearts that reunited after our first marriages ended. Our first date was Hoedown 1991 and we've been coming ever since. We married last May12 on our 16th anniversary and we'll be coming this year to celebrate our first wedding ann. and 17 years of hoedowns together!! They are the best of times!! thanks from Chatham,ON Canada

Im so excited... The hoedown has been going on every year since i've been alive and ive been every year!!! I do admit tho im sad that SEXY Bucky Covington aint gonna be there.. Am lookn forward to seeing Billy Currington Tho! See ya there!

i just wanted to to write in and tell everyone what a fantastic job u do and i love coming. my father started bringing me at an early age and now i'm 30 and wouldn't miss it for the world! just waiting for my son to get old enough so he can join in on a fantastic experience and keep the family tradition alive!thank you so much for everything and this world wouldn't exist if not for country music!!! keep up the good work!!

We hope that you tell people in advance that you won't let anyone in with there chairs or there own water or food. We drove for hours only to be turned away at the gate. Every day the rules were different. We have been going to the hoedown for 13 years and never had those problems.Can you let people know on the radio so we don't get turned away.

1ST TIME I WENT WAS THE YEAR OF THE BIG BRAWL, BEEN GOING EVERY YEAR SINCE THER ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON ITS THE BEST 07 TOOK MY 12YR.OLD AND MY 1YR.OLD BOYS TO THEIR FIRST HOEDOWN THEY WERE AMAZED MY FAV. HOEDOWN DOWN MOMENT WAS MEETING JACK INGRAM ANDSEEING CHARLIE DANIELS,JOSH TURNER LITTLE BIG TOWN, CANT WAIT 2 SEE GRETCHIN WILSON

iam going to be a 1st timer i cant wait

i go every single yr.. i remember when the motorcycles could be park on the grass, and u could pass out on the ground w-no big issues.. i have 3 great memories. i watched aaron tippin on stage the he went into one of the blds to sign autographs.. here i am peepin in the windows and the moment i see him going up the steps and i got to see him leave the bld and got the closest picture ever!!.. the marker was even in his hand still.. but what was even funnier wwas i didnt even know i had the picture til my friend who went with me came by, showed me them, then asked me who was that guy.. i was laughin and jumpin around she still to the day dont remember me gettin that picture.. rock on..

i've posted the funnist moment but need we forget the funnest of them all.. that is riding the machinical bull downstair. which is a tradition and challenge each and every year.. usually a drink or two will take away any pain but eather way its a blast and the memories and pics rock.. gotta try it... to fun.. but only for the strong, no city boys, or metrosexuals..

OK- this song is awesome- does anybody know who the artist is or how to get it? See y'all at the Hoedown!!! GO WINGS!!! Kevin~ski

The funniest/grossest thing I ever saw was some time int he early 90's two girls gotinto a shouting match. One of the girls went into a port-a-potty and the other girl and some big dudes that were with her tipped it over while she was in it. She reallyhad it coming! Hilarious. I love the Saturday evening crowd with the 5 feet of beer mugs hanging fromt he one they are drinking.Check out The Post bar after the last show-fun!

i have one owrd to say josh gracin rockssssssssss ive seen 140 shows and his ranks in the top 3 wowwww thank for a great day i came from wi to see the show and can;t forget jason micheal caroll wowww amazing

I'd like to give the staff of WYCD who run all over the place, take pictures, give out the treasured beads, and welcome you as you come in a huge "Job well done!!" - they are the best - always helpful, cheerful and ready to have fun with the attendees! Go WYCD staff!!!!!

ha we were coming from wyandotte on saturday and we got into ecorse when we crashed into someone. hopefully we'll be there sunday.

the highlight of the hoedown this year was beinging right in front of the stage for the Roadhammers...then being shoed away by security. Because I'm Canadian and apparently not allowed to enter or win and meet and great contests it great to be that close to our canadian boys. Keep up the good work WYCD, but please let there be a way for us Canadian's to be more involved. we can't text in, or put mesages on the screens, and therefore we cannot be included in the contests that involve meeting our favourite artisits. It's awesome that Canadian artists are showcased (Terri Clark, Emerson Drive, The Roadhammers etc), but it would be even better to have the canadian fans appriciated also. We have our own stations, but choose WYCD because you guys are awesome. how about some recognition...pretty please :)

Hey I love the hoe down... great time every year, but you gotta get rid of that VIP section, I'm tired of having to jump the fence every day!

Jason the 300 pound cowboy blasted me in the head with a shirt that a little girl took from me to use as a night gown. WAY TO GO JASON! Good aim too!

Embarrassing but funny! My husband and I were watching RedHill and they may have just gotten done with their set when I spotted Jyl and wanted to say hi before she scampered off. So, I took off to say hi to Jyl and RedHill was coming off the stage to sign autographs and I guess my husband whistled for my attention and Julianne from RedHill walked over to him!!! LOL He won't let me live that one down for a while!!

I want to thank you for putting pictures up this is the first year I wasnt able to make it down to the Hoe Down. My husband was the man that was killed getting they sewers ready for the Hoe Down and I just could not bring myself to go down I am so sorry I missed it so thank you for the pictures.

This was my first Hoedown (and at my age, that's a sad thing to admit), and I had a BLAST! Thank you so much for all the hard work y'all do to put on a great event. There's issues with every event with things people would like changed or didn't like, and I have some, too. But I do appreciate all that went into prepping for this weekend, and I had such a great time.

Except I still don't see local Country artist on the 2009 Roster. Bring this fresh face to the Hoedown this year 09

a bunch of girls weekend what a blast this year would be a good year to have "rich" singing shutting detroit down sounds like we would make some money. good job to all to put on a great and safe show. See ya soon. counting down the becky's

I was bummed to hear, Tracy Lawerence wasn't gonna make it this year? I know he's been there so many times before, but each show was bigger & better every year. I had a Dr.Don&T.L. moment 2yrs.ago, that was just so awesome!!!!

This lady had a skirt that was WWAY to short for her age with a rackcook tail????

Omg sooo did anyone else see the brave girl climb to the top of the fountain and try sliding back down..and ended up falling...If so is she okay!? Any broken bones...I just have to know!!! It happened Saturday night around 9:30pm

all i know about this is its about country singers all my favorite singers and if it wasnt for bucky covingtons pickture on the front page of trace adkins my space i would have never came to this page but this page sounds like the BEST PAGE EVER
