About 1 p.m. a dousing caused KZBX 92.1 to fold up their remote. When the sun came out, so did the crowds.

Overall, the even seems to have been as successful as years past. In fact it seems that there were more participants this year. (Although we missed the incredible Marv-Mobile this year.) The crowds packed Route 66 throughout the day only thinning out with the brief downpours. Cool-Country-15-08-08-39
