Blogfest 2014 attracted a good crowd of bedrock people from all sides of the political/philosophical/social spectrum this afternoon. And, per usual, good will prevailed among those who have crossed swords, figuratively, in the past. Here, County Clerk Jim Brannon, DFO, and Jeff Tyler mug for the camera.

JeanieSpokane: The 10th Annual Blogfest was once again a successful, warm, fulfilling (tummy and spirit) event! I kept wanting to sing "We are Family!" Bent's BBQ is absolutely the best. Herb's potato salad. And many, many thanks to Fort Ground Grill!! (And whose cookies were those - they were delicious!)

DFO: I deeply appreciate the honor of hosting all the fine individuals who attended Blogfest 2014, celebrating the 10th blogiversary of Huckleberries Online. It has been a long, but very rewarding 10 years. I thank all of you for helping create something, I believe, is unique in the blogosphere. Feel free to offer your comments re: today's Blogfest.
