SMOKE CLEARS, PROMOTER PLEASED
from: pbcommercial.com
Up and running for 52 straight hours has left promoter Ron Cates tired, but exhilarated. Last weekend's second annual Smoke on the Water BBQ, Bikes and Blues Festival, he said, was an overwhelming success in spite of the drenching rains preceding the event.
"We expected to see a lot of people," Cates said, "but this went way beyond our expectations."
Because of the downpour early Friday, Cates said the crowds were thinner for the first day of the festival, but still some 7,000 strong.
People arrived in a steady stream from all over the state, he said, to enjoy world-class barbecue, a motorcycle show, carnival rides, a Budweiser exhibition and a performance by the legendary Bo Diddley.
JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS performed Saturday, Cates said, to an audience three times larger than expected. He reported traffic lined up from the festival entrance to the Jefferson County Courthouse on Saturday.
