The little black dress looks great everywhere!
Headliner Rosie Flores wowed the crowd
with her guitar licks and great songs.
K.D. Jordan of Knoxville Cigar Company
kept the crowd supplied with fancy smokes
Threds Ad Print supplied the cool festival shirts
that were sold out by day's end.
What better way to celebrate the event
than with an impromptu beer dance.
I'll have another beer, please!
The event was great fun for everyone and raised much-needed money for the Second Harvest Food Bank.
