Well, as one of my favorite weekend 'retreats', Region 1 St. Joe County ABATE put on another fantastic weekend event. This 3 day event just seems to be growing every year.

Special thanks to Ken Slisz, Lisa Gordon, English Mike, Dan Switalski and all the other ABATE staff and volunteers for your tremendous efforts in pulling this event off! Good layout, a nice mix of vendors, great field events and just an all-around good time.

Thanks to the 6 bands who laid out some great tunes; The Flys, Jurassic Rock, South Side Jim, Driving Reign, Element, Groove Inc. and to my guys Shawn Michael and Sean Little with the Bobby Lee Caldwell Band. A BIG thank you goes out to Norv Carr from Carr Tunes for the great sound system and putting up with all of us musicians!

For anyone who hasn't made it to this event as yet...put it in your plans for next year, You won't be sorry! Check out some of the pop-up pics below.
