HAZZARD COUNTY HEADS FOR NASHVILLE

As Rosco P. Coltrane would say, "Good news, Good news!!"

We are proud to announce the Grand Opening of "Cooter's Place in Music City," our new shop and museum in Nashville, Tennessee. The kick-off festivities will be Saturday, July 9th and Sunday July 10th.

Our new place will be in Music Valley Village, directly across McGavock Pike from the Grand Ol' Opry and the Opryland Hotel. I'll be there with Cooter's Garage Band and there will be plenty of hot barbecue and cold drinks. And you can bet some General Lees will come rollin' in, too.

Nashville will be a great 2nd home for Cooter's. It's the home of country music, of the Grand Ol' Opry and CMT. It's easy to get to and there is plenty to do when you get there. We sure hope y'all can come to the Grand Opening and help us get it going!

DUKESFEST 2005 LARGEST FAN GATHERING EVER

Hey Y'all! Miss Alma and I owe a humungous "Thank You!!" to everyone who came to DukesFest 2005 and made it the biggest gathering of fans for any television show ever. It was amazing. Some estimates said that about 40,000 folks spent those two hot days in "Hazzard County". So thanks to everybody who made the trip, and thanks also to the folks who worked to make the event special, to CMT for bringing the show back on and for helping us get the word out about DukesFest, to all our other sponsors, to our vendors, to the crew at Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway who hosted the event, to the really fine musicians who played, to the amazing stunt drivers, to our great cast, to everyone who brought General Lees and other "Hazzardous" vehicles, and to the Confederate General Lee Fan Club and the Arkansas Special Olympics. And let's hear it one more time for the Hazzard County Stunt Team. The stunt show was the culmination of months of work from some very dedicated friends of our show from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Above all, the credit belongs to all of you who have kept the "Dukes", America's great family show, alive and well for all these years. Y'all are the best.

As you know, when that many folks congregate there are going to be frustrations and inconveniences. For whatever problems there may have been we promise to learn from them and we thank you for your patience. It seems to me that the Good Lord blessed our event as He has blessed our show and for this we are very thankful.

Y'all want to do it again??

Take it easy,
"Cooter"
