The Best of the Lawncast at Hillbilly Heaven

Chaz and AJ did a live broadcast this morning from Dom and Donna’s in North Haven this morning, or as they called it on the air, “Hillbilly Heaven.” There is a taste of everything this morning had to offer; from outfits, to creative ways to feed the chickens, the return of the buttle rockets (featuring a cannon!) and a surprise early announcement from Live Nation’s Jimmy Koplik. Boss Keith’s Top 5, a belly flop, paintball guns, and some live banjo music to wrap it all up. Happy Fourth of July!
