A Johnny Cash tribute band was one the acts to take the stage at Cariboo's Rock Stock Festival near Forest Grove on July 31-Aug. 3.

Simply put, Cariboo's Rock Stock was a big success, says organizer Wade Cook.

The new music festival rocked over four days and three nights with a talented local band and other great professional acts from around British Columbia, featuring a variety of musical genres and drawing approximately 150 visitors and campers from around the province.

“Rock Stock would like to thank all the businesses that helped out,” Cook says. “We're trying to make it a community event.

“It's on the level. It's a safe place to go to. There was a good turnout and everyone got along.”

The outdoor venue was on Dempsey Lake Road near Forest Grove.

Tribute bands rocked out tunes of popular acts, such as Johnny Cash, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BTO, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.

Cook adds they're planning to organize a second annual event next summer.
