That's right. We're just one little week away from the
Capital Hoedown, and we can hardly contain our excitement! (Eeeeeeee!!!!!!!) So, to just to be sure we're all prepared, I've come up with a little prep schedule to make sure we're all up to speed come the big day.
1. Friday (six days to go): Today you're going to want to buy your cowboy boots or dust off the ones you store on that top shelf in your closet. Put 'em on. Wear them around the house. Get comfortable in them. After all, there's going to be a lot of boot scootin' for the Howdown.
2. Saturday (five days to go): Speaking of boot scootin', you're going to want to polish those dance moves. Try to find a honky tonk and a cowboy and get after it. Or, if you're more comfortable testing out new moves at home,
Youtube is the place to go!
3. Sunday (four days to go): After all that dancing, go ahead and take a break. Don't want to burn out. It is a three-day festival, after all.
4. Monday (three days to go): Today you should pick your outfit. That leaves plenty of time to do your laundry if laundry must be done and/or to go shopping, if you need something like chaps or a prize belt buckle. You know, the essentials.
5. Tuesday (two days to go): Since you've chosen your outfit, you'll easily be able to choose your coordinating Lug bag. I suggest something that slings over your shoulder messenger-style. You're going to want both hands free for dancing, clapping, and general good timin'. You're also going to want to pack it with the essentials—a little cash, sun screen, water bottle, and ... MORE COWBELL!
6. Wednesday (ONE day to go!): Today you can brush up on all those song lyrics you've been practicing and just relax. All your preparation has you in great shape to enjoy the festivities.
7. THURSDAY! ... Y'all have fun now, ya hear!
Remember when I told you about the Lug Fitness Challenge here? Well, the challenge is in full effect, and as you can see from the progress chart pictured, all the Luggers are doing great! And that's really something to be proud of, considering how busy we've been with all this Hoedown fun.

There's less than a month, now, before we head to Ottawa for the Capital Hoedown Country Music Festival. .... WE CAN'T WAIT!!! (!!!) .... But I guess we have to. So while we wait, I figured we might as well get super excited about the lineup. Without further ado, THE LINEUP! Now, what you're going to want to do is go here and download lots of songs by all the artists so that you can sing right along. (I'm learning the words to this one right now.)
