Wish you all could have made it. It was a BLAST! The weather was bad before the fest started, But got better and better as the day went on. No rain derring the fest!!!  What was really cool was seeing how many people were walking around with CBGs. Most for the first time. I think there was three or four places where people were playing music. So from a distance the fest sounded AWESOME! 

Thanks guys for coming and recording this. Hope ya'll are able to make it next year!

Than you Jim. Traditionally we would have only an hr of open mic during start up and again ending the day but as things were during unpredictable rain, half the fest went indoor while the rest who opted, stayed outside and took their chances. It worked out fine for both parties and we really had a blast jamming all day without restrictions under the Russ & Jerry tent.

Wow! That looks like a good time! At York PA fest there's always music on the outside stage and that sorta puts a damper on the cool little booth jams you had going on here.

Glad you guys liked it and we all enjoyed your visit Uncle John. Your guitar donation was supper nice and helped raise money for those veterans.  I thought video Bob did an awesome coverage here capturing the essence of a CBG fest.
