Possum Trot Auction
Friday Night 7PM (eastern standard time)
Important to note:
History: Possum Trot started in 1976 as a beer and BBQ honkey tonk by Butch's daddy
Butch was raised up in there watching beer brawls and fights and shootouts every fri and sat night
In 1980 we started having possum races
That drew in 5000 people from around the country
This was the pray lude to the first Doo Nanny
Someone suggested that each artist auction a piece of art off at the Possum Trot Auction on Friday Night at 7pm est. to raise money to help pay the band folks. All artists just bring something to the auction with you...
Traditional tractor ride from the Doo-Nanny to the Possum Trot leaves at 6:30PM. Costumes encouraged!
