Every once in a while, you end up at the right place at the right time. Such was the case backstage at Countryfest 2014. I happened to be walking by right when country stars collided.

Here are a few shots as I walked around in the crowd on this incredible day at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds. My apologies in advance for stepping on blankets, tripping on your chairs and bothering you in general.

Just before taking the stage at Countryfest 2014 Saturday, Jake Owen was presented with a very sweet and special surprise to celebrate his hit song "Beachin'" making No. 1 on country radio charts.

Former 'American Idol' winner, Scotty McCreery, performed an amazing set on stage at Countryfest 2014.

Not to worry, country music groupies.  I will have a ton of photos of the stars (many from backstage!), but I wanted to pay attention to the REAL stars of the show—all of you who came out in DROVES for Countryfest 2014.

Before taking the stage at WGNA's Countryfest, Montgomery Gentry met some lucky fans backstage. Check out the meet & greet pictures in the gallery below!

They are one of the hottest acts in country music right now, and Dan + Shay were at WGNA's Countryfest 2014. After delivering a GREAT performance on the stage, the guys met with a few lucky fans back stage. Check out the photos below.

Wow, Schaghticoke Fairgrounds! You looked good at #WGNACountryfest 2014!  What a fun crowd at the festival, and the weather was beautiful! The ‘GNA crew was out and about taking photos in the crowd throughout the day. Did we spot you in the crowd?

Jake Owen certainly seemed comfortable on the Countryfest 2014 stage. So comfortable, he did his whole set without shoes!
