The Best in Area Tasting Competition and Bloody Mary Tasting were highlights for food and drink enthusiasts, while those with a competitive streak tested their hands at music trivia with Paul Daly and Brian from 101.1 The River. Kids had their share of fun too, with a variety of activities designed just for them.
Dead Amsterdam, the winner of The Battle of The Bands, opened for the headlining act on Saturday night. They rocked the stage with their signature heavy sound inspired by Stone Temple Pilots, Jimi Hendrix and Clutch. Preforming both well known covers and polished originals Dead Amsterdam’s show was a hit!
