Stop me if you've heard this one before: Maybe it would be fun to get a bunch of Blue Jackets bloggers together for a cookout.
That's how it started. Or so we like to say.
The truth is, like most successful things, Cannonfest had a lot of people who helped to make it happen. Tom Fellrath, who at the time was better known as the original Dark Blue Jacket, had the idea of getting bloggers together. I suggested a cookout, because it was summer - and when it became clear that things were going to be a little too big for my backyard, it was Greg May who offered the space at the BW3 in Grandview.
