Where is it going to be held at? What state?

[RogerDuke]

Thanks Daney!

Unless there's a blizzard I'll be there!

waikiki, Canton Ohio is the home of the pro football hall of fame and is located south of Cleveland....maybe 30 miles or so.....on second thought I think it's more than 30 miles.

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Steve and I will most likely be there....although we will have just seen John the week before....poor guy is gonna think I am stalking him....

Wish it was in April or May and we could bring the General....it doesn't do so well on icy roads

It'll be great to see you and Sue, Roger...

[waikiki23]

Hmmm, Ohio. ROAD TRIP!!! I live next state over....Hmmmmmm. Will have to work this one out if I can!

[DaneyDuke]

Daisy, who knows maybe the weather will be nice that weekend.

Would you happen to know what John might charge for an autograph or other items? Thank you!

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Cost depends if the auto show takes some off the top or not... seems like autographed pics at a normal show are about 10-15 each whereas if they take money off the top they can go up to 25 each...that is what they were at comicon.

[Redneck girl 01]

Howdy Y'all!!

I was just wandering once you get to Canton...is the Canton Memorial Civic Center easy to find?? There is a chance I might get to go...depending on the weather...I really do hope I get to go...But I was just wandering if it was easy to get to or if it was confusing? Is it a big building and do a lot of people show up for it? Sorry if my questions are dumb but I'm curious...

And at the Comic Con in Pittsburgh last year Johns Autograph was $25 I think...A polaroid picture and autograph was $35...I don't know if that is the same one DaisyMae is talking about or not...

[HossC]

I was just wandering once you get to Canton...is the Canton Memorial Civic Center easy to find??

Hopefully someone with local knowledge will reply, but in case they don't I found these directions. Google maps doesn't seem to have Street View for Canton, but the Center is marked here.

[RogerDuke]

It is a few blocks off the interstate so you'll definitely need that map (thanks Hoss).

Yes, the building is pretty big. You can google Canton Ohio Civic Center to see pictures.

If you like football, Canton is home of the NFL Hall of Fame. I'm not sure what its hours are but if you know someone who is a football fan, you might want to take them and do two exciting things in one day.

Let me know if you're going Sunday. We'll be there at noon. (Me and the beautiful MrsRogerDuke that is)

[DaneyDuke]

Thanks Daisy & Redneck_girl!

Redneck_ girl, there is usually a pretty good crowd and I think there might be more people this year.

Discount DrugMart is doing $2 off admission price tickets again.

[Redneck girl 01]

Thanks HossC and Roger...I will have to print that map off tomorrow when I got somewhere it will load the whole way...I will have to go google it...if my internet will bring them up...

I LOVE football... (GO STEELERS!!) hmm anyways...is the Hall of Fame thing close to The Civic Center??

We usually go to these kind of things on Saturday but it really depends this time...Its not set in stone yet that we are goin...but I sure hope so!! So it might be Sunday...it would be great to meet some of the Hazzardnet members!!

[DaneyDuke]

The Hall Of Fame is only a few minutes from the Civic Center

http://www.cantonciviccenter.com/ - Civic Center website

http://www.profootballhof.com/hall/admission_rates.aspx - Hall Of Fame - they open at 9 & close at 5, so you might be able go there first and then the car show!

[Redneck girl 01]

Thanks Daney...I was just wanderin if I do end up goin...if I should go extremly early or just normal...but if your thinkin there might be more people there it would probably be good to get there early

Ok so with dial up it is hard for the whole page to load...least mine is....So how much is admission to get into the car show thingy??

[Redneck girl 01]

Thanks again Daney for the links to the websites and information!!

I would like to go to the Football Hall of Fame...and make a day of this!!

[DaneyDuke]

You're welcome redneck_girl!

I think Roger's mention of noon for Sunday is really good. Saturday, it will depend if you want to go to the first or second autograph time.

Car Show Admission:

Adults: $10

Kids, 6 - 12 yrs old: $5

Under 6 years old: Free

Parking Garage: $5

[RogerDuke]

If the roads are good I'll be there Sunday at noon.

I'll look for you Daney. It would be nice to see Tim again. I wonder if he's coming.

It doesn't look like DaisyMae and Steve will be there Sunday but there's a small chance they'll come Saturday.

Of course Ray Kohn of the Northeast Ohio Dukes will be there too.

Hey Redneck girl, if there's a chance you'll be there Sunday send me a PM. I'll give you a description of me and my wife. It would be nice to meet you.

(By the way, I don't look like Uncle Jesse....but I hope I will someday!)

Due to some things that came up...I won't be able to go to Canton...talk about dampening a persons great mood.... I was really lookin forward to goin but unless somethig changes I wont be going... It would have been nice to meet some of the fellow hazzardites...and of course John....well maybe by chance he will show up for the Hazzard Homecoming in Virginia!! I can hope....lol....

Well to everyone going to Canton...have fun and take lots of pictures to share!!

[RogerDuke]

I'm not going to make it either. The roads here are bad and won't be any better Sunday. If I lived closer I might take the chance but one of our vehicles is bad in the snow and the other doesn't have a heater.

[DaneyDuke]

Sorry you can't make it redneck_girl & Roger!

Local newspaper article- http://www.cantonrep.com/carousel/x1868083142/-Dukes-of-Hazzard-star-draws-crowd-at-Canton-car-show

"waited in line for the TV star for about three hours. About 10 minutes before Schneider was scheduled to arrive Saturday, the line totaled about 200 people and snaked through the building and across a hallway before ending in the main exhibition area."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Steve and I went Saturday....it was great seeing him again...he is always so sweet. Got me some good John hugs and some nice pictures....we're sharing my scarf in one (his idea)....I think it is my new favorite pic. He is a wonderful person.... if you all have a chance to meet him do it...you wont be sorry.
