Hey Dukes fans! I’m going to be starting a contest on the blog. It’s real easy to enter and win! Here’s how it will work. I’ll post something like “As quick as” and you finish it by adding in a comment. You will have 7 days to add your comment and then I will use random.org to pick a winner. The winner will win some Dukes of Hazzard stickers and tattoos! I’m going to start the first contest at 12:01 AM on January 11, 2009. You can sign up for the mailing list at the upper right and you will get an e-mail when the contest starts. Good luck!

Saturday evening we went up to the stadium and checked out some of the cars there. There were several General Lee’s and Cop cars there. Most had left for the day and we saw several General Lee’s leaving while we were there.

Sunday was the day I was going to pay to get in. As I got up to the gates I asked what was inside. “Just autograph signings” they said. I didn’t need any autographs so I saved my $20.00 admission and took pictures.

Here is a link to my pictures from Smoky Mountain Fan Fest 2009.

Also notice I put a link up to my Dukes of Hazzard facebook fan page on the right. Add my fan page

Tomorrow I’m having lunch at the Islamorada Fish Company inside Bass Pro. I’m not hitting the Smoky Mountain Fan Fest until Sunday so not pics or anything until Sunday evening.

Anyway, that’s the update for day 0. Made it to Kodak, TN. Staying right across the road from the stadium for Sunday. Probably going to hit Gatlinburg tomorrow also and get some boiled peanuts (MMM MMM). Want to check me out where I’m at? I try to update my location (when I’m in public) using brightkite.com. Or follow me on twitter I’m on there even more. I know, way too much stuff but I’m a geek

I only need Ben Jones’ autograph on my original Dukes of Hazzard script. I’m hoping to catch him this weekend. I thought I had it but I don’t. I have met him on many occasions and I just assumed I had it. You know what you get when you assume. Yep, that.

Want to see other pics from past Dukes Fests? Check out my Dukes of Hazzard photo gallery for some pictures.

Got some extra money burning a hole in your pocket? I thought so! I’ll also be hocking these Dukes of Hazzard tattoos. I have bills to pay you know

Leave a comment if you are going or went or just want to say hi.

Yee haaa!

He has some mixed news also. He is closing his Gatlinburg store and is moving, probably to Pigeon Forge. He says to watch for sales at his store.

The best news? He has one too many General Lees and is selling one! He says it’s never been in an episode. 865-430-9909 to make serious inquiries about the General Lee.

I would post his whole newsletter here but it is an image. I don’t feel like retyping everything. Keep Ben in your prayers as he goes in for major back surgery.
