That' was last year's results from the annual Music in The Fields event, and volunteer members, Ken Irwin and Rick McMurray, hope that this year's event will be much the same. They attended the Huron -Kinloss council meeting last Tuesday to update council and present their future plans for the upcoming Music in the Fields. Don't get your hopes up as to being in the know about the artists, they won't be announcing the lineup until March 5. Last year, 3,800 people attended the Friday night concerts and 5,600 attended on Saturday. This year, the campsites will be "pro- fessionally measured" said Irwin.

The group will be making more of an effort to engage with residents and concert- goers by being more present in social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. They're encouraged by their growing Facebook likes, and want to get the word out to broader regions as well. Irwin commented that Lucknow merchants were happy with last year's event, as concert -goers made the village busy with shoppers and bustling with business. The Wingham, Goderich and Kincardine hospitals received $10,000 from last year's event. Also on the list of recipients was the Cystic Fibrosis foundation which received $40,000. The group donated $5,000 to local schools. The committee is still looking into other oppor- tunities for the money to make a difference. "Everyone will be mostly excited about the headlin- ers," said tight-lipped Irwin, who added that they are big names. In the past, the event has featured country artists: Terri Clark, Big and Rich, Blake Shelton, George Canyon and many more. "We couldn't do it without the volunteers," said Irwin. He commented that council has been very supportive towards the festival, and this has helped with the success of the event. Check out the event's web page at www.musicinthe- fields.ca.
