The event by a Rockford promoter, a month in the making, was apparently conceived as a musical flashmob featuring over 60 acts and DJ's at a northern Illinois location to be disclosed Friday morning. When it turned out to be near Harvard McHenry County deputies went there. All they found was a few people trying to nail together a stage. Deputies told them they lacked permits for anything, so they left.
Semi-incoherent postings on Facebook (?) over the weekend indicate a few people finally assembled, apparently, at a horse barn somewhere near Freeport Friday night. Then Saturday everybody wandered to a farm south of Earlville where most had a good time except for a kid who said somebody stole his wallet and a woman who claimed promoters owed her some money and her family was mad at her.
Bummer.

There will be every possible method used to get Zinke's name in the press. Shove this guy down our throats.
I hope the public catches on. He would be a terrible sheriff.
Anon - this was a total "Wag the Dog" story. The NWH insults its readers by allowing themselves to be feed any garbage the Nygren or Zinke feed them for some good press. They print it. What a joke they are. A kid posts that he is having a party on facebook, parent see it and the kid is busted by them and it never happens. DJ's , thousand people, stages porta potties - ALL BS.
How is this even a story? there are hundreds of parties every month many get shut down such is life in out increasingly totalitarian fascist state
It is NOT A STIRY - it just used to give Andy Zinke some good press. You will see this kind of thing to get his name in over and over. If and when Nygren steps down he wants Andy appointed Sheriff. Then he will have a lot of name recognition to try and get him elected. Keep the the establishment garbage in place. This is how Nygren go the job. Same ole, same ole. Hope this county wakes up soon and realize who is really wasting tax money. Corruption abound. Check out the Trib article about an inspector general for the suburbs because of all of the corruption. Rober McCoppin is the reporter. Today's Trib.
I would really like the editor to chime in and explain how this is news worthy at all maybe there is some thing more that we are missing here
Perhaps if you'd take to trouble to actually read the first sentence...? Not to mention the rest of the story which, interestingly, doesn't mention Zinke at all.
FEN doesn't just reprint press releases, especially from MCSO since it stopped sending them two years ago when I, apparently, asked the Sheriff a mean question once too often.--ed.
This blog article does not mention Zinke. Reference was to the Northwest Herald article which puts him up as a hero that prevented a tragedy. However, it was strongly embellished - Zinke used the opportunity to make something out of nothing.
