Last year we put on the first ever Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards and it was a huge hit, selling out in just two weeks and proving that country music in our area is not only great, but powerful. Year two is bigger and better at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins and including the best from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.
