Scott’s Favorite CountryFest 2012 Moment
CountryFest 2012 is in the books and it was a rockin' party for sure. I loved getting to mingle with many of you at the free outdoor street party listening to some great local talent as well as newcomer Dustin Lynch.

Once again we have come to the end of another week, so that means it's time to break out another great country song and video from the past with this week's edition of Flashback Friday.
