Dude, the bands were incredible! I will stop myself from going on & on. It's definitely worth the price of admission to watch the bands. I love how many of the contemporary blue grass bands cover rock tunes and give them a blue grass flair.

Shenandoah Friday night, Joe Diffie Saturday night, and Ricky Skaggs Sunday afternoon. I'm so bummed that I coudnt hang around long enough to see Ricky.

My team had the best seat in the house. We were setup directly behind the stage. many of the teams stopped by and hung out with us.

This makes three years where I have been blessed to witness some of the best live bluegrass I've ever heard.

RR, are you asking me? If so, I'm sorry dude. Friday night was a blur. Plus, I suffer from CRS.
