The annual fundraiser for the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce was simply perfect. Let&#8217;s go over a few RandomThoughts about the event and add some bonus photos!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s bring on a Shrimpfest Big Board:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I believe it&#8217;s the 534th time that I&#8217;ve said it, but the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce is amazing.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s hard to think that over 1750 people can fit into the Community Market area, but the event pulls it off with the main section at the front part of the building, the corporate section in the back and the food &amp; entertainment outside. The perfect weather made that plan even better.<\/li>\n<li>I had to laugh one of the comments on <a title=\"Shrimpfest LIVE! \u2013 9\/3\/2014\" href=\"http:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/03\/shrimpfest-live-932014\/\" target=\"_blank\">the original article<\/a> that said the event took one day to sell out instead of the normal two hours. Um&#8230; that&#8217;s a great problem to have.<\/li>\n<li>That comment also said people complained about the food. As I said there, if you&#8217;re worrying about the food then this isn&#8217;t the event for you. This type of event is to have fun and enjoy a great time. That being said, the food was amazing and plentiful.<\/li>\n<li>Having table service done by the local Rotary clubs in the corporate section was a terrific idea. Whatever tips that they got went for their club&#8217;s activities.<\/li>\n<li>Von Wellington is a great guy and his photography is one of the best in the area. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vonwellingtonphotography\" target=\"_blank\">Check out his Facebook page for more photos<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Brenda &amp; Ken Bowman need to become band and concert promoters. Heh.<\/li>\n<li>Shrimpfest moves to the top of my list when it comes to &#8220;premium&#8221; festivals. It&#8217;s well worth the ticket price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s enough RandomThoughts about the Shrimpfest&#8230; let&#8217;s finish this off with some bonus photos from the
