HARDIN CO.—There’s been yet another OD at The Gathering of the Juggalos at Hog Rock Campgrounds…and the festivities don’t really kick off until this evening.
According to the group’s Facebook page, nothing is happening until tonight at the campgrounds, where thousands and thousands of Juggalos and Juggalettes are camping out and have been since this previous weekend so they can enjoy fellowship with their other Juggs, aka fans of Insane Clown Posse (ICP). Other acts are scheduled for the event on multiple stages…if the fans live long enough to watch them.
Right now (just before 3 p.m.) there’s been another report of a Jugg passing out due to overdose, with a pulse of 205, and being combative when responding to emergency personnel, this according to those on the grounds. Lately, those being treated for OD at the hospital in Rosiclare have been testing positive for a new synthetic party drug, N-Bomb, which we featured the chemical makeup of this morning. Don’t know if this latest OD has anything to do with it; the grounds are filled with any possible kind of drug, which are sold freely as it’s Tim York’s private property and so far, they can get away with it.
Attendees pay $175 for the privilege of even getting on the grounds, then there’s food, water, etc, to consider to have to purchase; an expensive proposition for such young people (average age is reported to be in early 20s, but there are a few 50-somethings and some pre-teens out there every year as well). Some of them aren’t too happy about the way it’s being run:

Maybe poor management will remove The Gathering from Hardin County and the thousands of people in the area who get sick of everything that it entails each year.
In the meantime, whoop whoop.
