Event Coverage KKOA Show Eureka Springs, AR June 5-7

Haven't seen this announced here, yet. KKOA is putting on a new show in Eureka Springs, Arkansas the first weekend in June. Don't know what to expect for a first show, other than some cool customs. Eureka is a great little town with tons of shops and stuff for anyone that would come with you and not want to spend the day at the show. I know myself and Arkiehotrods will be there for sure. I'll have my Merc and hopefully we will have Arkie's Nomad back in shape for the trip. Hope to see some of you there. If this gets some response, maybe set up an official Meet and Greet....if there is more than just Duncan....I already know him. LOL.

 

Eureka springs a great area...........Rich

 

Hey, Dave, is it gonna be just Saturday or Friday and Saturday? I know it's not a Kustom, but if I could pretty please be the chase truck I'll probably tag along in the trusty '46.

 

If they will let me in, I will go... at least for the Saturday...

 

i will be there with my signs

 

I'm doubtful..... Friday afternoon I'm going to the Starbird show and instead of
staying just for Saturday, I'll be attending the whole shhbang. Don't know if I can
reload fast enough to run again. If I do go, It will be just be for the day.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

The show is Friday, Sat and Sunday. Not just customs, though. They have rods, trucks, etc. So, yeah, they will let you guys in for sure. We are headed up on Friday and have reservations for the weekend up town at a bed and breakfast so the wives are close to town and have something to do when we drag the cars off to the show during the day.

I'll miss you again Mickey! I was hoping you would make it for the day so the Mercs could finally meet in person. LOL.

 

My wife and I were just married there in December at Thorncrown. Stayed at the Basin Park. Great town.

 

I spent my honeymoon there.

 

I'm hoping to be there. Probably Saturday. I love Eureka Springs. Spent a lot of family vacations there as a kid.

 

I love the place but not a very good town to get around in driving low custom! Would be cool to go up though!

 

We honeymooned there, many moons ago. And I've officiated at a few weddings at Thorncrown Chapel. We go there once or twice a year. The population there is, um, interesting.

 

This sounds like fun, maybe some of us can make it. Its worth going to Eureka just to sit on the back porch of the Crescent.

 

may try to make it.

 

That back porch is creepy. And the little chapel there is haunted!

 

The whole place is haunted, that's half the fun!!

 

im going to try and make it.
lived in the area for a couple yrs now and have never made it down to check out eureka, so this may be the excuse i need.
ill be go for just sat from the joplin mo area if anyone whats to caravan down?

 

I will be there. Drivin down Friday.

 

Look forward to seeing ya! We are headed in Friday as well. I'll be in my 51 Merc and Arkiehotrods is thinking about bringing his 56 Nomad.

 

Me too. Buba's BBQ Yee Haw!!!
Great place. I'll have to make it next year.

 

Sounds good I will be in the 50. Probably be on the trailer though, its been havin some issues with keepin the antifreeze in the radiator.

 

I might be coming up to Eureka Springs this weekend but I'm not sure.

 

its getting close

 

I'll be there Friday evening and Saturday. The wife and I will be in the '46.

 

I'm gonna try and make it on Saturday with the '26. Where exactly is it gonna be?

 

Was there for the bike rally last year and it a cool town, cant make it this weekend, sucks to be me.

 

Its at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks. On highway 62.

 

The show is being held at the Best Western convention center.

See ya'll there! I'm the dude in the chopped, green 51 merc.

 

Too bad they didn't get the word out about this show. I'm sure a few of us "Early Rodder" would have made some plans. I heard about it tuesday night. Too late to make plans to go.

Like I told the kid, "Your music's not too loud, it's just like OKC, it sucks!"

 

We're heading over Saturday morning with the '56 Plymouth Tail dragger.
