RHINELANDER - At Hodag Country Fest, tradition keeps people coming back. And there's one not to be missed - at least if you want a good seat.

It's officially called the Chair Line-Up, unofficially the Chair Run. Music fans line up for hours before they're allowed to place their chairs in front of the stage.

Once claim is staked, the chair stays in that spot for the week. Sections are chosen by lottery. The holy grail: front row.

Newswatch 12's Lex Gray talked with fans in line and in that coveted front row space.
