2007 Festival mosaic

It’s in the history books now, but you can relive it, or see it for the first time if you couldn’t make it, at our Flickr.com photo gallery:

2007 Flower Pickin’ Photo Collection

Please leave comments and let me know what you think.

I included links to band websites and MySpace pages wherever possible. If you enjoyed a performance, drop them a line and let them know. Many of the performers traveled a great distance on their own dime to get here and really made for a great event.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks to all that attended, performed, pardoned, and volunteered. See you next year!
