Heads of the Industry
This is why I like taking the pictures as opposed to being in them. Poking my head through an animal cutout would not be the way I want to be remembered but hey, I take the pics when they ask. I don’t know if you can figure out who they are but these are leaders in the industry. It’s just …
AMS Idol Winner Angie Greving
The winner of the first AMS Idol contest is Angie Greving, Charleston-Orwig. Angie just absolutely wowed the crowd with a Martina McBride number (Independence Song). In fact, she was called back up afterward to sing some more. I’m not sure what the winner received. Hopefully a recording contract somewhere. Hey, I’ve got a microphone and a lot of hard drive …

Meet the Hubers
The farm tour at the Huber Winery Opening Reception was a little more sedate than the one we went on Saturday. Although I’m sure the end result for some people might have been the same (at least from what I’ve heard). Me, I was a good boy going home on the early bus. While we were at the Huber farm …
