Hot Rods and Kustom Cars
For the last few years I’ve been attending a small town show not too far outside of Wichita called the Hobo Happening. Being that it’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving in Douglass, KS it’s been either 50 degrees or 35, this year was closer to the 35 and a stiff cold wind. Still with all of that they had a great turnout this year.
Saturday started out a bit foggy. Actually at one point in the drive visibility was down to about an 1/8th mile. That did not stop folks from coming out to the Hobo Happening in Douglass, KS.
For years the last event in this region had been the Hobo Happening in Douglass, KS. I’ve been able to attend this mid November event a few times, sometimes it’s 60 degrees and sometimes it’s 35 degrees, but it’s always a bunch of great people having an even better time.

Don’t forget to check in tomorrow for a list of some of the my favorite kustom kulture artists and links to where to find their stuff for sale. Art makes a great gift and you don’t have to go fight crowds to get it!
See you at a show,

Due to a forecast of some nasty weather the Hot Rod Revolution was cancelled this weekend. I had made it about 2 hours south of my home when I got the word to turn around. As luck would have it there was a show in the region this weekend and not having a trip to Texas meant I could attend it. The Hobo Happening is a great small town event in Douglass, KS held each November and as is usually the case, it was a cold one this year. Highs were around 35 degrees and the winds were dropping that wind chill down to tingly temps. That kept the car count lower than last year’s 50 degree day but there were still a bunch of nice rides from as far away as Nebraska.

1 more post from the Hobo Happening tomorrow, and Wednesday look for a post listing links to all kinds of great artists that all have great stuff for sale that would make killer Christmas gifts, don’t go get trampled at a department store for some crappy made product that your loved one won’t even use a year from now, support kulture artists and get some great art in the process! Don’t forget to subscribe at the top right hand corner of the site and I’ll keep giving you daily dose of kool hot rods and kustoms.
See you at a show,
