Frog Follies 2009 (is it worth going to)

Going to the frog follies in Evansville Indiana next week......anyone else going? Was wondering what to expect....Lots of cars? swap meet? Things to do? Anyone been.....

 

been there a couple times. its a big show. swap is generally good. show is cheap ,and they feed you. average around 4000 cars as i remember. its not traditonal, a mix of everything. but good people putting it on.

 

Me, yngrodder and Bigsam63 are all going

 

The Frog Follies has always had a good reputation as a great local show that is worth driving to.

I can't make it, but hope you take some pics and can post them up!

I'll be there, I've been going for about 15 years now. It's cheap, the swapmeet has really grown and there's lots of shade. I predict that this event will really grow next year because of the N.S.R.A. 30 year rule.

 

Yep....no more NSRA shows for me

 

Hey Steve,

I have been going for the last two years and am sorry that I waited so long to make it.

Extremely laid back with alot of drivers. Good swap meet and the best food bargins you will ever find. They have all the food booths and seems that I eat lunch (burger ff's and large drink) for something like 6-7$.

Also no registration blues here. Just drive in and park. On site register when you feel like it.

 

You taking your panel down there?

 

I hope to be in a '52 ('48 that weekend) pickup that we just finished. The Rustzilla truck in my album.

 

I'll be looking for ya......Ky boys have to stick together when we get in the Hoosier state!!!

 

Go to the Frog Follies...We have been going for years. Great show that is really laid back. Huge swap meet and venders.

 

I'll be there Fri. Like said before, Eville Iron are a great bunch of guy's, all the procedes are for a great cause, cheap food, and it's a great show............

 

Ive been going for quite a few years, It has a good swap meet. and its a pretty cheap laid back weekend for the Family. Kids games, Womens world. The Eville Iron puts it on and they run all the food booths and They donate all the Money to Charity. I have been thrashing on this trying to get it Driveable before then.

 

The Rod Kings ( hotrodbob, Razin Cain, fastfish2, pipewrench, 30modelA5 & myself) will be there on Sat. just for the day..... looking for good deals on parts for our current and future projects.

 

Good show, Money goes to charity. It gets bigger every year.

 

It's very worth doing. I've been about 23 times. Great swap meet, great people, good cause, food, cruising at night and hot as hades!!

 

Been going for 27 years. Best run around this part of country! Usually hot and or stormy.

 

You notice what he said........"best run". That's right this ain't no car show, this is one of the last bonified rod runs in the midwest. It is only for pre 49 hot rods and they don't allow clown cars like motorized coffins, etc. in. I guarantee you that you cannot go any where else for what you get from the Eville Iron for $15. They give you a goodie bag, one of the koolest dash plaques on the planet, same with the t shirt, dinner on Saturday evening and usually a dance with live music, as well as breakfast on Sunday, one of the real swap meets, woman's world in an air conditioned building, all for your Entry fee. It would absolutely blow you away to know how few club members there actually are. They recruit club members family members to help out. When this run goes away, it will definitely be an era lost. It that "kool". NOTE: this is no a solicited testimonial. I gladly did it free. It's that "kool".

 

Excellent show, Excellent swap meet and the Vendor base has grown big time over the years. Its the only place you can get a louvered Dash plaque. You wont be disappointed. I guaraaannntee.

 

I have been going since I was knee high to gr***hopper. The first show my dad ever took me, that was 1976, been going ever since. Swap meet is cheap!

 

Like everybody said. Its a don't miss.

I'll be there.

 

Without a doubt, one of the BEST runs goin these days! Eville Iron a great dedicated group who work hard to make sure everyone has a good time!
Drag boat races here in Livermore on Sun, I'll be at the Follies on Fri and Sat! Ky guys lets try a meet and great on Sat! I'll bring the camera...

 

Poorboy Jason (oneyellowtub) and myself are going up in his T - looking forward to the swap.

 

Now have my rooms for Thurs,Fri and Sat nights.....if its as good as you guys say it is I may as well stay the whole weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'll be parked in the shade up on the hill at the restroom end of the registration building. Look for an Orange 32 highboy with a HAMB decal on the windshield. I'll still be running my cl*** numbers(shoe polish) from MO-KAN as well. Stop by for a cold beverage. Sam

** The Frog-Follies flier always states "Toad cars belong in the swapmeet"

 

I guarantee you won't leave early. I've not missed it in 20 yrs, even when I was w/o a car.

 

Been several years since I did the it. This is not a high-dollar, gold chainer, car show - but rather a rod run put on by, and for rodders. Very laid back in a good park setting. Great bang for the buck. I'd recommend it.

 

We started going 5 years ago and have been going back every year. It is a great show and easy on the wallet.

 

Very good show and a pretty cheap weekend. Too bad it's the same weekend as the HAMB Drags. Otherwise I'd be heading east.

 

I completely agree with ****ster! Only downside is the weather. Bob
