Oh wow, where do I begin! First of all, I am from Indiana and live about an hour away from Louisville. The Kentucky State Fair is presently going on and we ran into a major traffic jam.
People were not only there to attend the Idol concert, but there were other concerts and events last night and it was very nerve wracking experience. We ended up missing most of the first part of the show. 
The concert was packed!! I did see many orange t-shirts scattered amongst the sea of people. 
When we arrived Kellie was out on stage!! She is really a little fireball! So much fun and really has a talent talking to the audience. She also has a beautiful voice, and I would definitely buy her CD. If Katharine loves her that says a lot about what a great and funloving person she is. 
After Kellie there was intermission. Not long after that they started showing highlights of the Idol season on the big scenes, and the crowd started going crazy. My husband, sister and brother-in-law happened to be sitting in a sea of Chris and Taylor fans. A lot of constant screaming!
Katharine, was absolutely gorgerous in the black dress. 
She stayed on her knees for awhile and didn't move her shoulders much like she did at some of the previous concerts. She got up, sashayed down the ramp and started working the crowd!! Everyone loved it!! After that, she talked to the crowd.
My favorite part was when she said she spent time with the horses and cows at the fairgrounds. She mentioned being from California and not seeing cows. Kat said she had an affectionate moment with a cow that showered her face with spit. She said she loved it! That Kat! 
She also explained how she missed the first part of the tour, and pulled up her dress to show her black leg cast.
Then she sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and the crowd started screaming. Katharine was SO WORTH IT!!! She sang SOTR different then before. Each time she makes it her own and sings it differently.
The highlight of the concert was Katharine and the cow story. She was so cute, and has such a love for all kinds of animals, even moo cows.
At the end, during the group sing-a-longs, Katharine was wearing a black shirt, with a big silver metallic iron on bow on the front and the back of shirt was open. Kat did her best to keep up with the rest, but I am sure she will be relieved to get the boot off. It tires her out, but she did her best singing, hobbling, dancing, and waving and smiling sweetly to the crowd. After they were walking off stage, Kellie was walking ahead of Katharine and Kat tapped Kellie on the back with her microphone. It was a fun friendship moment.
I can't wait until Katharine has her own concert, or at least will be opening up for someone, like Carrie is doing. Like the old
saying goes "all good things come to those who wait."
Anyway, after we rode a few rides we went over to the baby animals and no one was in the building except for two guys who worked there so we started petting the little goats. About a minute later, they walked in with sunglasses on and at first I wasn't even thinking that it could be them until I heard Kellie go "Aww, look at the cute little goats!", with her very distinctive southern drawl, which gave her away so easily and I knew it was them. 
I almost freaked out when I knew it was REALLY them! 
We told them that we were huge Kat and Kellie fans and couldn't wait to see the concert. My friend told them that it was my birthday...which it really was, she wasn't just making it up. They both told me happy birthday and gave me and my friend a hug. Kat said she was so excited to be at the fair and how her and Kellie were looking forward to this show the most out of all of them. I thought that was so cool! Kellie said they snuck off real quick to pet the baby animals. So we were all petting the goats and the little pigs and they were both so adorable playing with the animals and Kellie was hilarious with the pigs. They said they were having so much fun there. After about 10 minutes, they told us they had to get back to rehearse. I asked if there was anyway we could go watch the rehearsal and Kat was like, "Sure, why not! Since it is your birthday!" I was so excited because we didn't even have meet and greet passes and I wasn't sure where to get them. We only had tickets for the show. And before anyone asks, I don't have pictures because I didn't have my camera with me at that time. I know...I suck. 
I feel bad because of that. I didn't think I would need it before the concert. 
They also waved to us several times during the show which made me love them even more. Kat was beautiful in her black dress and Kellie looked pretty hot herself! I definitely gotta say that it was the best birthday ever and the best day of my life!!
