A single word sentence was exactly the first thing that came out of many residents mouths when they read the content of the post. The most alarming part was that the post was true; a RockFest would be coming to the Lamar Memorial Hall.

On the evening of Friday January 15, 2010 the Memorial Hall was transformed into a rock co...
