“Comstock or Bust” are the words Bill Kann has chosen for a festival being held on the grounds, which once hosted the renowned festivals of Comstock in the past. Bill picks these words because “Comstock is a golden opportunity and you gotta go West to get the gold.”
Bill said, I’ve talked to hundreds of fans who want the Magic of Comstock to return and I will do my best to make it happen. I have talked to dozens of stars–my friends the Oakridge Boys, Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent–and I’ve heard of many others Joe Nichols, Chris Cagle, etc.–who love Comstock. It will be up to fans of Comstock if they want to keep this going–I can only provide the talent! The results and the future of Comstock will depend on their support!
