JOE STATES The Country Thunder music festival, which was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, wrapped up Sunday, with festival officials estimating that the event drew more than 30,000 people on each of its four days. Bob Stoll, Randall town chairman and a fire officer with the Randall Volunteer Fire Department, said the festival went âvery well.â âThere were far fewer incidents and calls than in the past,â Stoll said. âWhen you get a lot of people together like this, thereâs always the potential.â According to Sgt. Christopher Hannah of the Kenosha County Sheriffâs Department, there were 104 county ordinance citations handed out, 79 of which were for underage drinking. That was a drop from the 173 citations issued in 2019, 155 of which had been for underage drinking.
