List of things to bring or not to bring to The Taste of Country Music Festival

Excitement is building from HAWK fans for tomorrow's Taste of Country Music Festival at Hunter Mountain. In fact, I've talked to a lot of people that are there right now for the Thursday Camping Party, which is a new feature this year.

I've provided an updated list of things to bring and not to bring to the country music festival. Some things, like bringing livestock is a given, but other things on the list may not be on your mind.

Camera (no professional photo equipment, please)
Bug spray
Positive attitude!
