Blues Fest 2007! The annual transformation of downtown Hagerstown's Central Parking Lot into a venue for fantastic music and just plain fun has begun. It takes a few turns around the clock to make that happen, along with months of logistical planning, a dozen years experience, and a boatload of cooperation on the part of all of us who comprise Historic Downtown Hagerstown. Long live the residents and merchants (and the sponsors, the sponsors, the sponsors) who conspire to make this happen. And about 500 volunteers. By the end of the weekend, thousands and thousands (and thousands) of blues fans will have experienced some of the most memorable performances of their lives. And by the end of the weekend, your faithful reporter will be ready to sit down in a cool shady spot and reflect on the hot hot hot days of the Blues Fest. Photos indicate a dressed-up parking garage, a public works manager being interviewed by NBC25, a parking lot about to be transformed, and also one of the big stages-on-a-truck being waved through the barracades. Embiggen for the seriousness of it all. All photographed about 36 hours before lift-off. Let the Fest begin!
