     For those of you that were not there last December, the Mooneyes X-mas Party is the only show I’ve ever seen that was a success even though it was rained out!  The rain started the day before and continued through the show and into the night. By 10:00 an estimated 500+ cars were on display and almost all the vendors were open for business! 

     Mooneyes decided to have an "X-mas show make up dry event" it was called "Mooneyes Summer 2010".  What a show!!  3 bands all day, great drag racing including a cacklefest and a Jet dragster, an art auction, over 100 vendors, and over 1300 cars to check out!!  Imagination, creativity, ingenuity, attitude, and style were all there for your enjoyment.  Cool choppers, crazy hair, great entertainment, and lots of Ink. The “Pin Up Girl” contest was great, it gave the show an extra boost of eye candy parading everywhere.  Drag Racing helped make the show feel nostalgic with rods and customs lining up together, ready to run.  This was an amazing event.
Thanks for the Show!
