A few of my favorite fireworks from the drone.

Part two from Bart Liter’s Snake Pit. I have some drone footage of the fireworks amongst other video footage that I’ll share later. Edited images of my favorites will be coming soon too.

Sunday funday: random shots from race day. I usually spend my Regatta Sundays down at Bart Liter’s Snake Pit, because there “Ain’t no party like a Snake Pit party!” It’s also a great place to get shots coming out of the final turn. Here’s part one of two.

I was really looking forward to Brantley Gilbert, but it’s impossible to predict the weather when you book these acts. Hopefully soon!

Pecos and the Rooftops with some crowd interaction.

Here’s a few from JD Shelburne and company. JD has some ties to Madison and always puts on a good show.

Here’s some images from the Madison Regatta’s opening ceremony and Saturday qualifying. As I previously stated, I’ll edit my favorites once I get everything uploaded.

I had to leave early due to some unfortunate circumstances, but I believe I have plenty of great shots and video footage from this weekend. I’ll be dropping that in the coming days and will edit some of my favorites from the 2026 Madison Regatta soon as well.

Shoutout to the folks that put so much time into making this weekend happen every year! It’s very time consuming and there’s a lot more that goes into these events than I’ve realized. Things don’t always go as planned, but we make the best of it. I’ve been going down to the Regatta for a long time, but no matter how bad the weather gets or how the event goes, my family and friends always leave with new memories!

Hope you guys had a great time! I’ll see y’all at an event sometime soon…

Miss Madison is getting everything ready for water… just waiting on the Coast Guard to give the all clear for the course.

Brandon Kennedy and Miss Madison was able to get back out there and complete their Heat 1A and look to build momentum heading into tomorrow. Be sure to get down and support your hometown team tomorrow for what should be an excellent day of hydroplane racing!
