A crowd of about 70 people turned out at LaHood Park on April 12, 1999, to discuss - and at times cuss - the Rockin' the Rockies concert, a classic rock concert slated for LaHood on August 6-8, 1999. Comments ranged from compliments from the county commissioners to Steve Wendell of LaHood and organizer John Klingbeil for their proactive approach to Cardwell residents Wendell and Ivy Oliverson, who live closest to LaHood, voicing concerns over just driving up and down the road due to drunk drivers and other unruly behavior. The concert hopes to draw up to 15,000; bands Journey, Foreigner, Nazareth, and others are scheduled to play.
