 Several
generations of “Dukes of Hazzard” fans
will gather in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday,
June 8th to celebrate “Dukes of Hazzard Fan
Fair” with the entire cast of the show. The
event, which coincides with the CMA Music
Festival, will be centered at Cooter’s Place
on McGavock Pike, across from the Gaylord
Opryland Hotel.
“It’s not often that we can all get
together like this,” says Ben Jones, who
played the sidekick mechanic “Cooter”
on the ever popular international hit. “But
it is a thrill for us and a big kick for the fans
when we do!”
John Schneider (Bo), Tom Wopat (Luke), Catherine
Bach (Daisy), James Best (Rosco), Sonny Shroyer
(Enos) and Rick Hurst (Cletus) will join Jones
for the day’s events, which will culminate
with a Hazzard Hoedown concert at the Nashville
Palace featuring the whole cast onstage with
Cooter’s Garage Band.
“We haven’t all been together in
Nashville since our DukesFest celebrations in
2006 and 2007. They were the largest fan
gatherings for any film or television show ever.
One year we had more than 100,000 folks show up
at the State Fairgrounds. This festival is
intended to be smaller and a little more laid
back than that, so hopefully everyone will get
all those autographs!”
The Music Valley area around Cooter’s Place
will host a Hazzard County Car Show, with scores
of General Lees, Hazzard Police Cars, Daisy
Jeeps, and Boss Hogg’s Cadillacs. There will
be a Hazzard Youngun’s Area with
children’s activities and lots of things to
jump up and down on,” Jones adds.
Event hours are as follows:
Hazzard County Car Show - all day
Cast Autographs - 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Hazzard Youngun’s Area - 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Hazzard Hoedown - Nashville Palace - 8 p.m. - 10
p.m.
“So its cars and stars and music”, says
“Cooter”. “Just like Hazzard
County and a perfect family event for a Nashville
weekend. See y’all there!”
“Dukes of Hazzard Fan Fair” will be
held at and around Cooter’s Place in Music
Valley, at 2613 McGavock Pike, Nashville, TN
37214. For directions, tickets and more
