Contraband Days Schedule for this Weekend
The annual Contraband Days celebration is in full swing for another year. If you haven't been in awhile, I'll tell you that the folks at Contraband Days have been working hard to "clean up thier act. I think you'll be pleased with the way the festival has changed and evolved,
This weekend at Contraband should be pretty much ideal and the weather is going to cooperate. The forecast is formostly sunny skies with no mention of rain at all. I'm sure all of us remember several years where the weather interfered in this much maligned 2 week party.
We've got a pretty nice weekend coming up, so get the family together and head over to Contraband Days. Here's what's going on this weekend
