Country Boys and Girls Gettin Down on the Farm!

OK so let me be the first to admit that Tim McGraw makes me feel rather frisky too.. but are they kidding in Grand Junction? Remember last month we took over GJ for Country Jam and we had 4 kick butt days of incredible country music. However health officials in Grand Junction who have nicknamed Country Jam the “Woodstock Of The Rockies” says it’s a lot more than 4 days of country music, it’s a 9 month hangover for expecting mothers.
You see apparently, there’s something in the water or the grooving sounds of country music that drives up pregnancies in this city each year. Is this the weirdest theory you’ve ever heard? Here are the stats; on average the health clinic sees between 25 to 30 pregnancies a month. However, five weeks after the festival that number jumps to almost 80 a month. Of course many of these are unwed teens.
Now I promise not to make every blog about teen pregnancy but what in the world could we do short of putting Yaz in the water?
