DukesFest & Other Events

Anyone got any good pictures of Tom? I have some but haven't gotten them on the computer yet. What I'm really interested in are some when he came on stage Sunday and flashed us with the great view of his chest! I was too busy looking and didnt' click fast enough I got him buttoning the shirt back up. Dixie

Just curious... What cast members will be at Duke Fest this year? I know Ben Jones and James Best will be there, but who else? There's something on this board that says Sonny won't be there. Any other info on who will be there?

Hello, i'm Rico from Berlin, the Capital of Germany. I like the Dukes since i was a little Boy. We saw the show first in 1986 in german TV. It was great. In Germany i have not seen a real General Lee till now, but next Suturday, 2015/08/02 i drive to Zandvoort in the Netherlands. There is the Euro Dukesfest 2015 with a lot of Generals and Hazzard-Police-Cars. A dram will come true. If You are in Europe come to Zandvoort too. It will be great. CU BerlinDuke

Ben Jones is having a shin dig in Nashville with a few of the cast there to sign autographs, and there's another event in Covington the same weekend. Here's Cooter's event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hazzard-countys-40th-birthday-to-be-celebrated-in-nashvilles-music-valley-january-26th-2019-tickets-52503421146. I have an event of my own that weekend that prohibits me from going to either (I'd sooner go to Covington) but maybe one of you can make it and report back.

Wow!! I am still high on cloud 9 right now from last night….It was sooooo awesome!! I promise I will try not to ramble and make my story uncomprehendable ( Is that even a word, spell check is telling me no!)….But I wouldn’t count on it…So anyways I reckon I will start from the beginning…. So it was finally Thursday, and I was dead tired…I had been up for a couple days straight making a cookbook for my grandma for our family reunion in about 3 weeks. She needed it done ASAP so copies could be made. So I was slow to start and didn’t make it up to the fair until about 12. I didn’t even get my ‘01’s on my nails yet. I was still waiting for the orange to dr…

is the same as mentioned in this news article... http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/news/state/16349716.htm?source=rss&channel=sunherald_state =) Thank you to everyone who helped Josh's wish come true! (P.S. to Admin: If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it elsewhere)

Anyone going? Looks like I'll probably be there on the Gatlinburg side. OCT 24th “HAZZARD RUN 2015″ The run will take place on 10/24/2015 (Saturday) from Cooter’s Nashville, TN to Cooter’s Gatlinburg, TN

There is a section at dukesfest 06 where you can enter a model from a movie or another tv show and I was wondering if I could enter my rusty General Lee model in that section from the beginning of the movie? The reason I ask this to you all is because Ben Jones was completely against the movie and im not sure he would let me enter it. I would like your opinions because I am currently adding details and fixing mistakes to make it better for the contest. Thanks.

hi, my name is lee hodges. i am absoulutaly in love with the dukes of hazzard show. i strongly belive that its should be in little rock arkansas. many people here love the dukes of hazzard as much as i do. i hope and pray that the duke boys make it down to little rock for their 2011 dukesfest. my heart would be absoultaly crushed if it wasnt. it is my only chance to see it. i cannot afford to go anywhere else to see it. please you guys. stand behind me in moving it to little rock arkansas.

All I can say is...holy cow, what a crowd! Huge turnout. CMT has been filming and interviewing all over the place. As far as the biggest draw, it's hard to say whether the autograph opportunites with John and Cathy were the prime interest - or, if the "Ride in a General Lee" opportunity is what brought 'em in. The "Ride in a General Lee" attraction had lines that ran between 4 and 5 hours long. And this was with a fleet of General Lees running on the track. But the once-in-a-lifetime chance seemed worth the wait to those I spoke to. There's no doubt that "Bo Duke" hasn't lost a thing in charisma. The tickets for autographs went pretty quick - I'd say wit…

That's right folks in case you haven't checked the Dukesfest site lately. The one and only Adam West from the TV series Batman will be there.

I've been in town since Friday. Sure is hot in Hazzard! Having a great time. A lot of really nice General Lees up on the hill, great music on stage, surrounded by stars and good people. Dixie

Hey all, I just got back and wrote a long entry complete with photos in my livejournal if anyone is interested I'll just give the link rather than pasting it here. http://www.livejournal.com/users/sway4829/90949.html Fair warning... it's kinda John Schneider centered.

Yes or No.

My 2012 Hazzard Homecoming Experience… I GOT MY HUG FROM JOHN SCHNEIDER!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAWWWW!!! Anyways… WOW….JUST WOW~!! My Hazzard Homecoming experience this year was just completely and totally awesomer than awesome…(ok asweomer ain’t a word but just go with it) Y’all know me so this may be extremely long and drawn out, but talking I can have it spit out in like 2 minutes because I talk so fast about it because I am in such a good mood and had such a great time. These three days were absolutely amazing. It was like I was really transported back in time to a simpler place. I was really taken to Hazzard County. There is just a certain peace this place a…

I just got home from an amazing experience near Youngstown Ohio. It was a Dukes of Hazzard stunt show that was absolutely unbelievable. Words can't describe how amazing it was but I'll try anyways when I write up a lengthy review of it tomorrow. Once again, thanks to Daney Duke for posting the information regarding this show on the northern DukesFest thread. Without her, I never would have known about it.

For those of you who went to DukeFest this year, please post some of your experiences, photos, and video in this thread for the fans who didn't get to attend.

Howdy ya'll ! Just wondering what brought people to DukesFest the most. If you went to DukesFest - or even if you didn't, but wanted to - tell us what the number one attraction was for ya. Thanks! Brian

Hey ya'll Coy Duke(Byron Cherry) is going to be at dukesfest this year.

This topic came up on the CGLFC whether any of the actors from either of the newer Dukes movies be invited or even allowed or considered to be at Dukesfest now with it being under Johns control. The general consensus over there is no they should not be invited and I whole heartedly agree that they should not be there.In fact I probably would boycott if I found out any were going to be there.Dukesfest should only be for people involved with the TV series period.

Hey, did anybody get the Saturday Night stage show at DukesFest on video? In particular, we're looking for any video clips of Jacob, the lil' guy who was dressed up as Boss Hogg and who was on the stage with Cooter that night. Jacob was our Fan of The Month for June, as ya may recall. His folks contacted us to see if we had any video of him. Unfortunately, the HazzardNet Staff was traveling light and we didn't have any vid equipment with us. If any of ya'll have a video clip of this, please send me a Private Message via this board. Thank ya! Brian

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Jon, Tom, and Cathy at a local convention featuring various movie and TV celebrities. The con folks let me set up my Hazzard Garage model near the 'Dukes' tables. Untitled by mommydawn2000, on Flickr More photos to follow.
