Re: Moonshine Festival

I'll be there as a spectator. Been too busy lately to get either of my early Fords registered and show ready.

I was there in 2016 with my 1940 Conv.

Re: Moonshine Festival

PLooks like it's coming back to life again. I stopped going after they stopped allowing the moonshine vehicles to park around the courthouse, and the old circle dirt track cars to park along the road to the court house.....in favor of having flea market type spots set up in those areas. Attendance dropped off and the old car parts flea went down hill. I drove my '35 sedan from northeasten part Maryland to Dawsonville, Georgia several times (~700 miles) when that show was in full swing. Always a great time back then.

It's in a new from space mostly compared to the days it was on the square. The area behind the Food Lion supermarket is a massive park area now and that is where they have the local vendors and food trucks. There is a new pavilion between the Hall of Fame and Middle school where they park the "Moonshine Cars". The vintage race cars are parked throughout the vendor area. The middle school and area in front of the Hall of Fame are open to other cars.

I've been going for about 15 years and it has changed a lot. I still enjoy it though. It's really the biggest show for early Fords in GA.
