2010 Digfest
Welcome to the Austindiggers
DIGFEST 2010
I think that everyone had a good time and we all spent the weekend with a really wonderful bunch of people and families. It was a pleasure to see all the faces I know and also equally as wonderful to meet new people to the website that came out for the first time !
Also wanted to put out a HUGE THANK YOU TO THE CHRISNERS for the use of their wonderfully HUGE property again this year and I think that the BBQ , although hard to admit, was BETTER this year! Great job on the briskets!!! WOW that was some good food!!!!!
If you took pictures of the "fest" please be sure to email them to me and I will also add them
to this page so we can keep all the memories together and come back to them once and a while to look over all the great memories and great people that we all have the pleasure of spending the weekend with! Thanks to everyone for a great time! - Michelle
thanks to all who donated items for the drawings for the adults and kids
A record number of people camped out for digfest 2010! I believe it was probably DOUBLE the amount of people from last year!
LOTS of good laughs and some even at my expense, it was wonderful of you all to come early to get to know us and
to do some good old chattering and camping and warming the toes by the campfire! Thank you ALL for joining us!
Stars - Campers - Tents - Don's Cobbler - Just couldn't get any better than this!
AS YOU CAN SEE - EVERYONE WAS REALLY ROUGHING IT THIS DIGFEST - EVERYONE SLEPT
ON THE GROUND WITH A ROCK IN THEIR BACK - ABSOLUTELY NO COMFORTS AT ALL ! NOT!!!!!!

Big BT scratched out a very nice carrollton -
Pat Kinyon said ""Sat. our crew went to picking around on what looked to be a promising wall and wasn't having much luck and Michelle walked by to drink a beer with me as promised so we got to visiting and she said there's just not enough dirt being moved here so in frustration she went to go gather her tools came back picked her spot and had 'nt been there 2 mins and we heard the little badger noise she makes and wallah"""
