What’s one thing that sets you apart from other Rascal Flatts fans? It’s really hard to say what sets me apart from all of them, but I would have to say my dedication to the guys. I have supported them for the last 17 yrs and have logged up many concerts and have actually burned through 10 cars because of all my travels and I would not change any of it.

Tell us your favorite Rascal Flatts related story: My favorite Rascal Flatts story has to be the picture I submitted above from Toledo, Ohio. My good friend had seen them two weeks before and told them how I was suppose to be with her but my dad tragically passed away, he was a police officer and as he was chasing a bad guy he had a heart attack and dropped to the ground and when they got him to the hospital it was too late he was gone. The guys told her that they remembered meeting my dad several times when they came to Michigan, he was always assigned to them for security and they knew me and how many shows I would attend because my dad would tell them and he always told them that he was glad I listened to them and followed them. Anyway, they told my friend to give their managers the details about the funeral if it didn’t happen yet and they would send something. Well they did, they sent an awesome arrangement and also a handwritten card which I keep til this day. When I saw them in Toledo at their show they just gave me the biggest hug and said they were praying for me and my family. They also said how often my dad talked about what a big fan I was of theirs and how many road trips I’d been on to see them and how many new cars I had to get. Gary said that my dad bet them that before I turned 40 I would hit 300 shows. Gary said you up for the challenge…and I said yes. This proved to me how humble these guys are and how they really care about us. I am a loyal fan until I take my dying breath.

Congratulations go out to Michelle, she will be receiving a Rascal Flatts prize pack!
