If the dazzling sunshine was the appetizer and beer the main course, then the impromptu line dancing was the dessert at the 7th Annual Southern Michigan Winter Beer Festival. Thanks Experience Jackson for the press pass! We had a great time.

This wasn’t Jackson County Fairground’s first rodeo! The event drew a nice crowd. It was a well organized event. And most important, the lines moved quickly.

Sunshine

The weather was nearly perfect on Saturday. Ok I’ll admit. I was hoping for 50 degrees. But for March, it was lovely.

Hats

And I thought I would be the only one wearing a Dark Horse hat. You know that feeling when you show up for a party and someone else has the exact same shirt. Yep, you know what I’m talking about.
