We were biting our fingernails by Friday afternoon as the crowds and sales were almost non-existent. You never know until you go is our slogan and we were figuring this is one of them that you don't ever come back. Luckily, Saturday the crowds and sales picked up and we have at least covered our expenses. We still have Sunday to go so we'll see how it goes.
There are thousands of motorcycles here as we seen and heard them go by on nearby highways. I think the problem is that the event is at 5 or 6 different locations. Problem in that you don't see everyone all at once, you just see folks trickle in as they visit different spots. There is no entertainment out here to speak of and very few vendors so there really isn't a draw here. They are advertising a National Closeout Sale here by Harley Davidson but customers are telling us that they aren't really closeout prices. That tells us not to set up here next year as the word will get out and we'll see even less folks than before.
The things to be thankful for have been the awesome fall like weather and plenty of sunshine. We couldn't have ordered it better. The people have been nice and spent alot of time asking us if we are from "South Milwaukee" lol, I reckon we talk funny to them being from Tennessee and all.
All is good here and we're headed to Hot Springs Monday or Tuesday, hopefully Tuesday if they let us stay here.
