Story and photographs by Roger Rohrdanz

line12

At this annual Mooneyes event you can always expect the unexpected, unique, exceptional, ridiculous. The cars are interesting too! It’s an open house, parking lot sale, car show and BBQ all in one. Cars fill the small parking lot in front of the shop, and then the streets are used. Across the street there is a small parking lot and store, which is used for parking. Some of the cars cruised by, some park for a while, then would leave. My best guess at a car count would be around 150. Later the live entertainment would take over for the DJ.  

Thanks for the Show!
