At a holiday gathering in Starkville, MS, Bill Poe presented Robbie Ward with a plaque in recognition of his dedication and vision. In turn, Robbie presented Oktibbeha Country Sheriff Dolph Bryan and Starkville Mayor Dan Camp a couple of signed CDs from Joanne Cash, and made some tantalizing hints at what may be in store for next year’s festival! Check back for updates.

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:

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!
