Freedom Fest

On Thursday night, July 3, we headed for Brooksville for Freedom Fest. This was an event sponsored by the Joy FM and the Brooksville Ministerial Association as well as a few other groups. The headline of the evening was the free Matthew West concert (well, it cost $5 to park). The evening was awesome except for the 15 or so minutes of rain. We weren't very well prepared for it. The concert was fabulous! Here are a few pictures.

You weren't allowed to take food or drinks of any kind into the park. So, we planned ahead to eat there. Unfortunately, there really weren't a lot of vendors. We were thinking "fair food", but ended up with BBQ sandwiches, a cheeseburger, etc.


Landon's enjoying himself.


The fireworks were put together by the same company that does the Super Bowl fireworks, so they were really awesome.


The only downfall to the evening was the length of time it took to get out of the parking lot. We sat there until it was cleared before turning on the van. Gas is too expensive!

I love Matthew West. His most recent CD was one of my birthday gifts!

Sounds like a good evening apart from the not allowed to take your own food part. That's a bit of a cheek!
