Tracy Lawrence - Pioneer Event Center, Lancaster

I went to the Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster for the first time, to see Tracy Lawernce in concert. My sister, Becky, won some tickets from a breakfast at Crazy Ottos.
 
The venue is incredibly small. It probably holds about 300 people in fold up chairs.  They serve alcohol and some ocal minor league ballpark foods, chili nachos, nachos, chips, etc.
 
The concert itself was very good. I liked the music, but the venue was hot, and the chairs were so close together, you couldn't turn to the left or the right of you. I sat next to an old man who had arms so hairy, everytime I turend, it felt like I was snuggling up to a shag carpet.
 
Before the concert, we took selfies. They were hilarious.  One lady behind us decided to help us out, when she saw that one or two of us kept getting cut out of the photo.
She didn't do us any favors. Here is her photo. I think she was driniking:

 
We met Big D & Bubba, from KTPI and took some pictures with them:

 It was so hot in the venue that I was greasy and sweaty

 The preshow was Jacob Nelson and the Tone Wranglers.  They are a local band, and were pretty good. They sang covers from other bands.

Fun night, overall, but I had a bad back for 4 days afterwards, from sitting so close to people there, and trying to squeeze in. I literally could hardly drive or sit at my desk.
