Our first county fair was a success (15 shows)! We weren't sure how the crowds would react to an unknown original band but the folks of Ventura were wonderful. They applauded, sang along, laughed and purchased CD's. It looks like the Fresno County Fair is going to be on the schedule.
Thank you to "The Ventura County Fair", "All Star Sound" (Matt & Fernando you guys rock!), "Viking Entertainment," Judie, Jason R, Jason S & Kevin (thanks for all your hard work transporting us all over the grounds), all the fair performers we met backstage (Mary Lee, Dennis, Justin) all the security & police (a protective & warm presence), all vendors (thanks Auggie & Erin for the amazing cinnamon buns!), our friends who came by (Peter & Becky Krantz, Linda Miller, Gary & Kathy Lynch, Suzi & John Paradise, Jack Wignot & Jailyn Matthews, Robert, Joanne, & Samantha Fields, Mark Brickley...Muah) and to the wonderful folks of Ventura. We love the city of Ventura!
