Big Daddy Honored at Festival

Big Daddy was honored at this year's Conroe Catfish Festival. Actually, the whole festival was dedicated to him as a long-standing member and good friend to the Friends of Conroe. They insisted Gamaw be at the festival this year. She really didn't feel up to it but her good friends, Diane and Vicki, went with her to give support. From the moment she arrived, she got the VIP treatment including special parking and seating, condo accommodations, food and a multitude of friends to be with. They had placed a huge poster picture right at the front of the stage. The picture is of Gamaw and Big Daddy dancing several years ago near the stage with the words Catfish Festival behind them. Ironically, Gamaw took that very picture with her to the festival to show her friends. Also, all of the bands dedicated their performance to Big Daddy and they all told a story or two of him when they came onto the stage. And the festival publishes a newspaper about the festivities. Big Daddy was highlighted a few times in the newspaper. I know Gamaw is glad she went and I'm sure she's as honored as I am to be writing this story about a great man.
