Hi friends,

This morning we wrap up the great Joe Dobbs Book Tour, rolling into downtown Huntington. At 10 a.m., we'll be hoisting the Flood flag at Heritage Station, 210 11th St.


Whether or not you've made any of the earlier stops on the tour -- Ashland on Thursday night,  South Charleston last night -- you definitely want to catch this one! We'll be setting up near the wonderful River and Rail Bakery inside the building, near the Cabell Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau facilities. The whole band will be on hand, along with guest artist Jacob Scarr, our Floodster emeritus. Joe will read an excerpt from his new memoir, A Country Fiddler, and then visit with readers and sign copies.

And as if you needed further incentive, Joe and The Flood aren't the only pretty faces at the Station this morning. Outside starting at 10 and going all day, the shops of Heritage Station will be holding their first boardwalk sale and artisan market. Come on, Huntington, step out early and party downtown!

We got so much great press attention this week for the tour:

* Dave Lavender wrote an excellent story in The Herald-Dispatch on Thursday. Click here for a .pdf of it.

* Doug Imbrogno also wrote a wonderful piece in The Charleston Gazette on Wednesday. Click here to see Doug's story.

We also featured the tour in this week's Flood podcast, along with a great fiddle tune. Click here to hear that.
