Matthew, Megan and I drove down to check it out and we were floored! What a cool event that couldn't have been more fun. There were quite a few cars and a handful of vendors. I was amazed at how many cars were not in our normal circuit. I wished I had more fliers to hand out but I gave all that I had to ones I didn't recognize. The bathrooms were a bit of a home but they had a shuttle to get you up there. The food was provided by the chicken place that started the whole thing (coop!). There were a lot of regulars down there that we see at all of our shows.

I am afraid this show is gonna grow like crazy, especially if there is camping on site in the next few years!!!

Thanks for coming to the event. Was glad too see yall. The Dj gave Bugapaluza plugs all day and spoke to a few coming that have never been. The camp area was a hit and all our campers really liked the location we had for camping. It is very close to event and new year if camping is not at event location the camp area we used this year will have electricity and water by next years event as well as a pavillion and much more. I will try to pursuad camping at main event but until we get a go ahead my hands are tied,either way both locations are great and a must see if you were not able too camp this year.  See yall soon and thanks for showing support.

The Chicken World was where i had First Cruise The Coop. They are only a food vendor for the event and have no association with promotion or planning of Cruise The Coop. Unfortunatly i will not be using them as a  food vendor next year as they left a huge mess and many other food vendors want to be a part of the event and i always give chicken world the floor as the only food vendor. Leaving the mess they left for me could cost money per park even though we cleaned it up. So next year food vending is available too anyone that wants it.

Sounds like a great time, wish I had been there! I had a great camping trip though. Hopefully next year I can make this.

If you can get camping on site and work on getting the vendors numbers up, then everything else should fall into place. A great swap meet really helps draw a crowd!

So next year food vending is available too anyone that wants it.

That could get out of hand REALLY quickly!!! Be careful! You'll have people knocking your door down to get in and you'll have more food trucks than customers. I'd set a limit to the number that you let in and make an attempt to reign their prices in and get them to donate a % of sales to your cause.

There was a lot of swaping from what i was told. All the vendors said they did really well. Participants of the event have complained about Our current vendor way too much and then the trash issue. I will seek other food vendor for next year.
