This is a note to all the folks at Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival just to let you all know I have about 1600 photos to go through. So everyone please be patient! I’ll be working on them at night for the next couple of weeks. I really do have a regular job, so hang in there.

This was the 5th Annual Mandolin Farm Bluegrass Festival, in Flemingsburg, Kentucky. And just as the past 4 years Willie Jarrells put on an awesome festival. You just don’t come across festivals like this everyday. Willie has a great staff of people working for him and you really feel like they appreciate you attending their little corner of Kentucky. From the moment you enter the property and they offer to help you set up your camper to the time you drive away on Monday morning you feel like you’re at home with your closest friends and family.

Thanks for another great year Willie, and we’re all looking forward to next year!

Final score, NCC 3, Pendelton County

I was so excited about this game. I just bought a 2x converter that would take my 70-200 lens to 140-400. My “long” shots have been lacking detail so I thought this new purchase would help.

My excitement disappeared in the first few minutes of the second half when Andrew had a collision when going up for a header! So much for my new lens… we had a trip to the hospital to make. 16 stitches later we went to Hooters for wings, per Andrew’s request!

I try to be fair when posting the “Cover” photo for these posts and not use my son’s photo for every entry. I mean he’s just one player in a team of many, so why highlight him, right? Well not today. Today’s post is dedicated to “Boogs” for his “taking one for the team”. Andrew may not be the best player on the team but one thing Betsy and I have always been proud of him for is that he gives it absolutely everything he possibly can. What more could we possibly ask of him?

Boogs, this one’s for you! Especially the last nine shots in the gallery!
