Poconut Hoedown 2008

11th April 2008 to 25th February 2009

The Poconut Hoedown is held in Borrego Springs, California every March / April, by a group of CRAZY people who met through the website of the group Poco (www.poconut.com)
The main purpose of the gathering is to play music, but there is also, good beer, good food, good conversation, even good jigsaw puzzles !

These photos are from the 2008 event (April 3-5), the biggest and best yet.

Apologies for the quality of some of these. They were taken with a new camera whose manual has already been lost, and deliberately avoided using flash.

MOM ! MOM ! MOM ! MOM ! MOM !
