It's that time of the year, for Chilifest. If you are a college student, you should know about it even if you don't like Texas country. If you are a college student with friends that go to A&M, you definitely know about it because they have probably asked you a million times if you are going.
Chilifest is an event that brings tons of Texas country music entertainers to the town of Snook (basically College Station) Texas. All the proceeds from Chilifest are donated to multiple charities and causes in the Brazos Valley and its surrounding areas.
The first year Chilifest donated over $75,000 to area charities, and in 2010 that number grew to $193,000! Last years line-up included Dwight Yoakam, Cory Morrow, Aaron Watson, Roger Creager, and the Eli Young Band. Last year Chilifest even introduced a new addition to its atmosphere, the Chilifest Jumbotron.
Chilifest is on Saturday, April 10th performances include: Dierks Bentley, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers Band, Stoney LaRue, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, and the Bart Crow Band.
Where does all this happen? In a pasture of course! To make Chilifest possible, fifteen acres of pastureland are turned into a two day event made up of chili, live Texas country music, beer, and loads of fun.
Tickets cost $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
I went to Chilifest last year and absolutely loved it!!! I agree it is a must for college students everywhere!
