Mississippi Valey Blues Festival-Quad Cities

Any RFer's going? It's a nice festival in a scenic location along side the river. There's some good Roadfood in town; I'm thinking Jim's Rib Haven for Q, The Blue Cat Brew Pub for beer and their salad with duck cracklin's and Ross's for their mountain meals.

"Congratulations to Matt Woods and the Thunderbolts, winners of the 2007 Iowa Blues Challenge held May 18th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Urbandale, Iowa."

I'm sure the Thunderbolts are a fine band, but a Hilton in a Des Moines suburb is about the last venue I'd think of for a blues competition...did they celebrate their victory with pork tenderloin sandwiches?

Probably only if they couldn't get a Maid-Rite loose meat sandwich!

If it's the Hilton Garden Inn I'm thinking of, there is in fact a Maid-Rite within walking distance...you may be right!
