This past weekend in Byron, Georgia, you would have thought you were in Hazzard County. Thousands of Dukes of Hazzard fans, young and old, showed up to pay tribute to the show and to meet the cast of the show. Organizers of the event estimated some 60,000 fans total attended over the weekend. There were, of course, plenty of General Lees on hand, as well as patrol cars and other vehicles from the show. If you were there, why don’t you tell us about your experience in our forums. Also, check out some video interviews with the cast and the fans at the event.
