"No other festival in town features Texas-style music and food in an environment that actually feels faintly Texan -- it's usually hot, the pony rides lend a ranch-like quality, there's plenty of rowdiness and the sounds are definitively honky tonk," says Jennifer Geigel, ex-Texan and vocalist for Pinto.
