    Jimbo,

     

    After looking at it further, I'm sure it ends on Saturday. When I looked at the first line from the schedule...

    Friday - 3rd - 7th Annual Cigar Bo...

    Somehow my brain registered that it started on the 3rd of June and ended on the 7th of June instead of the fact that this is the 7th year the CBG festival has taken place. Please ignore and carry on. I will be there this evening and hope to meet you.

    I will be there Friday night and Saturday, is it going on Sunday too?

    The 4th is the last day I thought !
