Fans are flocking to the Rogers County Courthouse to get a glimpse of a country music power couple. Some folks waited all day for a chance to meet Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

And Mr. Brooks doesn't disappoint.

It's no music hall, but that didn't keep scores of fans from lining the narrow hallways of the Rogers County Courthouse on two floors.

Misty Crofford got a chance with dozens of others to see Trisha Yearwood in person.

"He's the best country singer ever!" he said of Garth Brooks. "I just had to have him sign my guitar."

And when he got his chance, the superstar did a double take, asking Colton if they'd met before.

"And I said yes. He was like, ‘Hi Colton I remember you,'" the boy said.

In the courtoom, the jury's still out, but out here in the court of public opinion - Garth Brooks seems to be

I think Garth is in the right. The hospital did him wrong completely. It shouldn't have gone this far. They should have apologized - done right by him," Misty Crofford said.

There were a few sheriffs deputies on hand watching out for Garth, Trisha, and the rest of the courthouse staff. Everything was very orderly.

People waited their turn, and they were able to walk away with their souvenirs.
