Rockin’ Oktoberfest
Well, I spent the entire day downtown at Hickory's 2007 Oktoberfest festival. As usual, the crowd was thick and the smell of food was unbearable. The highlight of my day was getting the opportunity to see The Little River Band play some classics such as "Reminiscing," "Happy Anniversary," "Night Owl," and "Cool Change." If you click on the photo above, there are some more images of The Little River Band available... I would also like to mention that the crowd at this performance was thicker than any I have ever seen at Hickory's Oktoberfest in the past.
I must also admit that I was blown away by the opening performance of The Alabama Blues Brothers. A modern-day rendition of Jake and Elwood on a stage in front of several thousand Oktoberfest-goers in Hickory was a good recipe for some foot-stompin' toe-tappin good times :) If you wanna see some of the more mundane stuff I pointed my camera at today, take a look at the images I posted to the newspaper's website...
