I noticed that this thread never mentioned WHERE this event was.

Oh, gosh...It was held in Aransas Pass, TX, about 15 miles north of Corpus Christi, TX. Coastal Bend is so familiar out here I forgot other people don't know what it is.

Here is the link to the original posting about the show. At least I remembered to mention it there.
