    Folks, I know this is short notice. Montgomery is my hometown and I'm going to put everything I've got into this one.

     

    Steve Webb (also from the Huntsville area like me) is going to come down, sell his wares, lead a CBG building class or two.

     

    I'd like to get some shade tree pickin' going on before the big show, and I'd also like to get at least one or two other groups to perform for the "really big shoe" at the end of the event.

     

    Let's pull off something big, the likes of which Old Alabama Town has never seen. I want them to realize that they could turn this into an annual event!
