Hope to get by one day or the other...probably Saturday as I'll be driving home Friday from FL. Depends on #3's baseball schedule.

Looking forward to attending my first CBG Festival. Taking the standby milk run Spokane-Seattle-Boston-(Atlanta or Nashville). Waiting for the Boston flight at the moment. Should be a lot of fun once we get there!!!

"A full marketplace of CBG builders"... one vendor selling CBGs, and one selling CB lamps.RIP Huntsville CBG fest, you had a good run.

That's sad. There were five or so CBG vendors last year and a couple of others with shirts/books/etc.

Did the jam session go ok? Hated I couldn't get up there...but the 12yo can't drive himself to games. ;)  Maybe I'll get up your way sometime.
