May 18th 2009 Detroit Hoedown Country Music Festival

I am in Detroit covering the hockey playoffs, so on my off day I took my camera down to the 2009 Detroit Hoedown country music festival. It is an annual event held outdoors, where artists from all over come to perform in this free outdoor venue. Here is a small photo essay on some of the people who attended:
