On September 18, 2021 the Luke Bryan Farm Tour stopped at the Kubiak family farm in Conway Township between Fowlerville and Webberville and performed for over 20,000 enthusiastic fans, the largest such concert event ever to occur in Livingston County.
Getting to the concert took many concert attendees several hours due to its rural location. Livingston County Sheriff deputies directed traffic through various rural county roads to the concert.
