On Saturday, August 6th my fiancee and I attended the 7th Annual Blues & Brews event at Lock 3 in Akron Ohio. As we arrived we found a parking garage with free parking right next to Lock 3. This already was good start, close parking that is free is always a plus! At noon the gates opened and the check in process was very quick. By 12:15pm I had my first sip of beer in hand and the fun could begin!
