August 28, 2010:

GREATEST.

FESTIVAL.

EVER.

 

Thanks to all who volunteered, participated, performed and attended the Pennsylvania Cigar Box Guitar Fest.  This was, by far, the most attended and most successful cigar box guitar festival we've ever seen.  You guys are amazing.
I've posted a large batch of pics here.
