The first night was an incredible start to the weekend. There are too many Highlights for me to post them all. My focus in this article is not to point out what sounded great and what didn’t. With were the band is now, every moment was one to remember, with the band giving all they had to give every moment. I would rather, as I have already begun to above, tell you about the uniqueness of the festival itself and those involved and document it with the many photos seen throughout and the mental spurts as they arise. Below are the set lists from each night. If you’re a true Jackmormon’s fan the set lists will speak for themselves.

Saturday woke us early after a cold rainy night, but things got moving quick knowing we had to have our chili made for the Chili contest at 3pm. We were also treated to some other afternoon sets from Adam Sorensen and Mexican Gunfight in the Galaxy Barn followed by the Jackmormon’s. Just a perfect time to refuel and catch up with friends from the night before.
