I'm sorry no one has responded to this thread. There's a few pics on the Steve Kinnaird thread and the O.C. Bear thread, but apparently most of those who attended were busy playing, buying and selling. I'm afraid I would have done the same: too excited to take pictures.

I have a few photos - but Brent took some good ones and posted them on Facebook -- search for La Conner Guitar Festival and you'll find them.
Heck why make you look for it - here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/LaConnerGuitarFestival/ Re: Mother's Day weekend - Shirley (Brent McElroy's wife) told me as I was leaving it was scheduled for Mother's Day weekend next year, too -- as that was the only weekend they could reserve Maple Hall. It's a perfect venue, but I guess it's perennially scheduled other than Mother's Day. It's such a perfect town I'd take mom and herself there... and sneak away to the festival while they were enjoying the shopping! Phil Last edited by riorider; 05-15-2018 at 11:41 AM.

Ok, here is setup time, 15 minutes before opening, Friday morning: IMG_2022.jpg And here is 30 minutes later, same day, other end of room: IMG_2023.jpg And then a view of the crowd on Saturday: IMG_2039.jpg I was pleased with the amount of traffic at the show, and obvious interest shown by locals. Can you spot Dion? Steve

You caught me in two of the three, Steve! (Purple shirt - almost invisible far left in 1st - talking to Mike Baranik, and talking to Paul Woolson and Butch Boswell center in the second. I own guitars by each of those guys - and bought a new parlour from Mike at the end of the show.
I did enjoy playing (briefly) one of Steve's guitars at the very end of the show - we were chased out by the gear guys striking equipment. Stunning work, brilliant tone and projection! Cheers, Phil

Here’s a couple I got. Many apologies to the many I didn’t get. I typically make it my goal to make sure I get snaps of all the AGF sponsors. I failed big time at this event. I realized much too late that I didn’t take enough pics. Sorry Bruce, Peggy, Sam, Paul, and the others that deserved more snaps of your great work. Hopefully others fill in my lack of photography.

So a couple more--Ryan and I can tag team this after a fashion:
IMG_2010.jpg A splash of color ^ that caught my eye in this Irvin guitar by Wayne Johnson. All natural woods. Guess them all and I'm sure Wayne will give you the guitar! :-) IMG_2034.jpg Chris Mirabella was just around the corner from our table, so I was able to glean some interesting info on the above guitar. He calls it "Bourbon on the Rocks". Built for a jeweler who supplied the side fret dots here and other places on the instrument. Genuine diamonds (7 carats total) encircled by platinum. Let's see THAT in the next StewMac catalogue! And since a casual Saturday gathering at Chris' shop includes a bit of bourbon on rocks, Chris tinted the lacquer you see here with a splash of bourbon. All I could do to refrain from licking this guitar.

Yay Pics
Thanks guys for allowing us armchair travelers to see some of the goodness!
Keep them coming! Luthiers are the alchemists of music. Turning wood into songs... Cheers Paul
