NORWICH – The 26th annual Chenango County Blues Festival this weekend was pitch perfect as the rainy weather held off for a dozen nationally acclaimed blues acts and 3,000 dancing attendees at the Chenango County Fairgrounds.

Chenango Blues Association President Eric Larsen said this year's blues festival was a great success from the perspectives of the attendees, the artists, and event organizers.

Larsen said, "I think people really recognize this is a different vibe than most concerts now; big profit-making ventures. We have a little bit more of a hometown feel to it.
