Fred Fest 2008

My wife & I went to Fred Fest 2008 at the Hair of the Dog Brewery in Portland, OR a few weeks ago on May 10th. The event is a fundraiser for the charity of Fred's choosing. This year proceeds went to Parkinson's Resources of Oregon in memory of the late, great Michael Jackson, The Beer Hunter.
We also used the festival as an excuse to look at houses and neighborhoods.
Here are a few pictures of the festivities:
