When the Drifters Came to town so did everybody else. The weather was great, nice and cool, with the smell of barbeque in the air. It does get much better than that in July in the South.
But wait just a minute, the first annual blues festival rocked this town until the wee hours of the morning with the meeting and greet with the Drifter on the Roof Top of the Compass Bank building thanks to the folks at Noble Street LLC.com. Classic on Noble catered the Roof Top meet and greet which was a who's who of Annistonians.
One Anniston City Councilman stated, "This is the most fun I have had in a really really long time. The Historic Downtown Anniston Business Association really set the bar high and knocked it out of the ball park today."
More then 2,000 people showed up for the first annual blues festival and barbeque cookoff. Lynn Entrekin of Holy Smoke was named the overall Grand Champion of the Barbeque Cook Off Event. Next year the Barbeque cook off is going to be HUGE with the Event getting on the FBA circuit as a sanctioned event.
