Event Coverage 2010 Frog Follies

studenut48, Ok this was my first Follies. I had a great time and plan on going back. But I have one question. What are those concrete walls behind the Swap meet?

Thanks

 

We were vending there,The people were great and the show was outstanding!! I did manage to get some pics!!

 

more!!

 

hey kelly, was it because your a vendor that you were there after dark? looks like that would be a cool time to hang out there.

 

The fair grounds remain open to all vendors and participants until 11 pm Fri-Sat for dancin and cruzin!!

 

Ok, here are the pics I remembered to take.

 

Ok, I admit it. I like 90's billet cars! Not the from a catalog billet stuff, but the cars carved out by craftsmen. This truck had that look.










My daughter and her friend shaking hands with the arm sticking out from under the zepher.

 

Thanks for the great pics! I wanted to go but couldn't. Maybe next year.

 

There were several nice 32 cabriolets..at least three that I noticed.

 

Just because I like odd rods.



Nice to see this car with paint this year.

 

I forgot to mention how much driving I did just to go to a car show that is roughly 140 miles away from my house.

Friday after work I had to drive to dad's house in Memphis to get the truck and take it to my house (250 miles each way). Saturday we got up and drove to the show, spent the day, and drove back to my house (140 miles each way). Sunday morning I took the truck back to dad's and brought my daily driver back home (another 250 miles each way).

1300 miles! 800 of which were in an old truck with no air and no radio...by myself (the wife and kids rode up in the wife's car). Oh, and did I mention the thunderstorms in Tennessee on Sunday. Lots of fun.

Actually, I loved the hell out of all of it.

 

I've been going to the Follies since '82 and I've wondered what those bunkers are for also. My guess is something to do with WWII.

 

Great pics. Have wanted to go for a long time and just haven't been able to make it happen. Nice to see the pics from others. Thanks for posting!

 

I figured it was for sileage for the livestock that get shown. The place is a 4H fairground after all.

 

The final count was 4024, announced at the awards. Great meeting some of you at the meet and greet. This was our 6th year and will be back, great show...

 

WWII ammunitions bunkers is the story I always got growing up.

 

Thanks for the pictures studenut48,Had a great time, this is a great show one of my fav's.Sorry that i dident get to see Retro61 this year.Seeya all next year.

 

Im counting the days till next years event.

My Dad rode shotgun with me 4 of the 6 hour drive and we had a blast all weekend together.

Don't know if many of you know that one of the long time members of the E ville Iron Club that makes this deal happen died earlier in the week. On Friday his funeral procession made a run through the fairgrounds.

That moment just increased my awareness of how brief our lives are. My father is 72 and I do my best to ensure that we take in every rodding moment possible together.

 

some more of the Frog Follies

Yes.... You are correct.

 

I did not know that. Them blocking keeping traffic down on the main road through the fair grounds made sense then.

 

Great show--great pics--THANKS for sharing

 

Thanks for posting

 

Thanks for post the pics, I went last year and there were too many "street rods" there for me and not very many good hot rods. This year it looks like there were a good number of good hot rods. I will have to plan on going next year. It is a great spot to have a car show and a great swap meet as well.

 

There was some pretty neat stuff there. I saw several HAM alliance tags and HAMB window decals.

What I like about this show is the people. not one single gold chainer ass-hat in the whole bunch. Sure there were some expensive cars there, but the owners were nice.

 

Anybody have a list of who won awards ? Thanks so much. Tom ( Tired Old Man)

 

here's more

 

Great pics guy's! Someday maybe we'll get to go in person but such great pics are a much appreciated stand in.

BTW, does anybody know if Danny is a HAMBer?

He is not, but I was talking to him about it over the weekend.
