Buckarama!!!
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009The Atlanta Buckarama was a huge success for Buck Commander. We rolled in, well, the Hog flew, and got to shaking hands with the great folks from Ga. It was so neat to hear all the places you boys hunt. I got picked up at the airport by my ole buddy Carter Smith in the “Mobile Command Post” and we took off to the show. Our production crew was there and we started filming our first TV show coming next fall to a network near you.
We went Sat. to pick up Chipper over in the “trailer park”. If that offends “trailer-living” folks, SAVE IT, I was born and raised in one, been there, done it. Needless to say, if you just won a MLB batting title, you got a few coins in your pocket and your pad ain’t too shabby. We showed up to see a line like ain’t seen since we used to have fish-frys down at Mom and Dads house. Chipper signed as long as he could and then had to get back to his other gig that was moved up because it was on national TV. I tried to sit in after he left and well, Jordan Summitt (BC camera guy), was neck and neck with me on popularity. GA. loves them some “Tommy Topper”!!
And low and behold, Adam LaRoche gets traded to the Braves so he comes to town as well. It was like an old-fashion Buckmen gathering. We all piled up in the RV, headed to Chippers and played some poker. I successfully knocked out Adam and Chipper only to get beat out by a lowly cameraman. OUCH! I was the best of the losers that night.
I cannot say enough of how impressed I was with the event. The Buckarama was buzzing with many cool outdoor products and lots of folks showed up. There all sorts of booths and things for people to enjoy. I enjoyed walking around and talking to vendors who had their booths set up on a great weekend. If you live in that area I want to encourage you to go next year. We will certainly be back. See ya next year.
