I can’t believe it! We went to Hartsford, SC to participate in the RenoFest band competition. We played last year and took third place, and were surprised then. This year we took first :) and we were shocked! The bands are always really good, and this year was no exception! We played with Flat Out Bluegrass and and the Flowers Family, just to name a few, and they are both excellent. When we played a few songs on stage that evening and got anounced as the winners, we got rained out — it was raining and VERY cold and the wind was gusting enough to knock things off the stage! But we played in between the banjo and guitar competitions, and had a lot of fun! We were on Channel 13 news and Gary had his picture in the paper, and everyone was so nice. We are excited to be able to play on the main stage next year and we were happy to see Rob and eveyrone from last year again.
