Blue skies and blues music highlighted an afternoon of fun and entertainment in the Ave Maria town center Saturday at the Blues, Brews and BBQ event.

A crowd of people from throughout southwest Florida enjoyed the weather, four hours of blues and other entertainment, a display of vintage cars and hot rods from the West Coast Muscle Car Club, and plenty of barbecue and brews.
