Green River Festival 2010!

Jul 19

Well, this year’s Green River Festival is, as Jim Olsen puts it every year, in the books. This was the first year the festival had a family tent, and they invited me and the River to put it all together. We had a metric boatload of fun. I’m uploading a ton of videos to YouTube right now. If you want to see my first batch of pictures, visit here for day one and here for day two.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the festival and stopped by our area.  If you have any suggestions for future years, please either e-mail me (show AT sparetherock DOT com) or comment below.
