2010 Dogwood Festival – Winchester, TN

These are pictures from the 2010 Dogwood Festival in Winchester, TN. This includes two sets of images, one from during the day Saturday and another of Saturday nights bands. The Last Straw opened for Foghat. Foghat ended up performing an encore of Slow Ride that pretty much had the Winchester Square rocking. There was a helicopter flyover just before Foghat came on. Wished they would have done it during the performance of Slow Ride.
