Everything was outside this year. The food truck caravan was in the parking lot as well as most of the displays, which had pretty much closed by the time I arrived.

 

 i was just in time for Ontario country band Lemon Cash, whose name, frontman Cory Papineau said was  inspired by the Lemonade stand he and his brother Jeff ( playing drums) had a s kids and put all the cash they made into buying more lemons.

 

 They started out  with more of a Shooter Jennings feel.

 

But they played a an array of covers ranging from ’90s county like “Dust on the Bottle,” ’80s pop like a countrified cover of Michael Jackson’s “ Black or White,” and more modern pop like “Watermelon Sugar.”

 

 Interspersed in between the covers were a few mid-tempo, contemporary country style originals.

 

 They picked up the tempo a little for an excellent original called “Stepping Stone.”
