Cacklefest returns for 2011... What is a Cacklefest ?

A cacklefest is "not" a gathering of hens. It is a collection of nostalgic race cars and dragsters. When a group of these vehicles are gathered all together in one place, the earth shaking, ear pounding, adrenaline pumping experience is truly unbelievable. The Cacklefest begins after the award ceremony Saturday afternoon. Make plans to be on Main Street before 3:00 pm Saturday, June 4, 2011. Hope to see you there!
