Maddog CBG's w/ Bud Heavy and the High Lifes

We had a great time over the weekend at the Brownville Show, sold a lot of wares and our friends "Bud Heavy and the HighLifes" set up in front of our booth yesterday as they have in the past. Had some amazing music and good conversation with them all afternoon. They took one of the Maddog Pot Lid Reso's for a spin too.

Thanks Wes and Pick! Had a great 4 days!

Summer is here Dave! Sounds like a fun time, I like jugs ;-)

Thanks John, not much rain down in Brownville. A little bit on Sunday. Saturday was our best day, sold more on Saturday alone than we normally sell the whole weekend. We had a great time. :-)

Comment by Uncle John on May 27, 2015 at 12:54am: Yah sir. In between the rains. Great photo, Patrick.

Comment by Dave Lynas on May 26, 2015 at 2:21pm: Looks like Summer Maddog. Us Northerners had fun at our annual Battle of the jug bands Sunday. Played all day.

Comment by the anonymous pick on May 26, 2015 at 12:46pm: nice!!

Comment by Jim Morris on May 26, 2015 at 7:39am: Looks like a good time! Definitely looks like music I'd enjoy.
