This is a very laid-back, relaxed and personal event. Our event is certainly growing every year - but remains small town fun at heart and affordable by all. At our event you can interact with your favorite cast members from "Dukes of Hazzard", hear great live music and enjoy lots of orange muscle cars in all their glory! Above all - "Hazzard comes to Galax" is strickly produced BY FANS for FANS. The response to this approach has been well received and this years event has been moved just a few miles down the road to better accomodate our attendees.Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:00:00 -04002066.8536
