“Let them leave you up in the air / Let them brush your rock n’ roll hair /

Let the good times roll.”

Ric Ocasek of The Cars

Remember when annual events actually took place every year? Celebrations like Mardi Gras — featured in this issue — used to happen on time and we seldom had to question whether they’d be cancelled.

At County Line Magazine we’re just as eager as everyone else to get out and have a good time. Lately we’ve filled our eMagazine and calendar, yet during the pandemic we’ve found there’s also a good chance of events changing unexpectedly. We provide contact information for events so our readers can call ahead — and can be assured the good times will roll.
