  Michael PittmanL-R: Jesse Dayton, Mike Stinson and Davin James twang it up in Montgomery County.​ When the Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival says "rain or shine," they mean it. The rains poured Friday night and Sunday, but that didn't keep the festival from drawing a huge crowd on Saturday when the weather was cool and perfect. And the music was stellar from start to finish. Click here for a slideshow.
