WYCD's Downtown Hoedown kicked off with sunny skies and music flowing throughout downtown Detroit.While tickets for the first night and weekend passes were sold out months ago, some early arriving concertgoers were unhappy with the $20 daily fee and the change in venue from Hart Plaza to Comerica Park."This was listed as the biggest free country music festival in the world," said Wendy Kurzel of Ypsilanti. "Where's the money going? Is it going to feed the poor or to help kids?Darrell Leslie of Ann Arbor also is unhappy the event is no longer free."It is terrible," he said. "They are taking away an opportunity for all people to enjoy the festival."Friday night's headliner, Josh Gracin, goes on at 10:05 p.m.
