Parker Blues Festival a hit

Hundreds filled the lawn at the south stage at La Paz County Park for the Parker Blues Festival, where blues bands entertained the happy crowd, classic car owners showed their shine, beer was served and vendors sold food next to the Saturday swap meet. The weather was kind too; festival goers had a temperature of around 82 degrees with partly sunny skies, giving way to more cloud as the afternoon progressed.

The event is on one of the last weekends for many winter visitors before summer temps send them packing up north and the Parker area gives way to summer visitors bound for the water, many of whom are already on the river this weekend in boats and on watercraft as the music plays not far from the shore.
