Pepsi Pops 2008

It is almost time for one of the coolest on-water events I have attended.  The 2008 Pepsi Pops concert is scheduled for May 9, 2008 at Old Trace Park on the Ross Barnett Reservoir.  Pack a picnic basket or and attend on land or pack the boat and attend on water.  Either way, it is [...]
