Hardin County prepares for the Juggalo Gathering

It's officially 2 weeks until I start making my trek towards the Gathering, and Juggalos/Juggalettes aren't the only ones who are preparing for the festival. Hardin County, where Hog Rock resides, is readying itself for the 6th straight year as being home to the Gathering of the Juggalos.  There's a new article at TheSouthern.com that talks about problems in the past few years with Juggalos, their budget, and what they've learned to prepare for this year.

Hardin County Sheriff Joyce Cullison said her department has been preparing for the event for months. Illinois State Police will again lend a hand. Cullison said two of her biggest concerns are traffic control and the heat. “We’re trying to prepare the best we can,” Cullison said. “Just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.”

If you are planning on attending this year, don't be dicks to the locals.  Yes, the cops will probably be assholes if you are pulled over...but most of the local residents couldn't be nicer.  The ones that actually do show their face in public tend embrace us and the excitement we bring.   See you ninjas in a few weeks!
