Of course taking a year off from throwing an event is going to have a fall out but the crew throwing Farmfest ’06 held it down proper like! After having the show built up to very respectable numbers the decision to post pone last years event along with the hurricane season last year tearing things up, the Farmfest crew wouldn’t have the fall out as they had expected. As I arrived into Orlando Hairbear aka mullet boy aka Kevin would pick me up, that’s where my weekend would begin.Upon my arrival into Vero Beach, FL we would head to Robs house to drink some beer and watch him continue to make the trophies for the show. After numerous drunken calls from Tall Paul aka large leprechaun aka big red, we would decide to meet up with him and his boys at some hick bar. As we arrive we were greeted at the door with the words every man would have laughed at, “Good timing boys we just got kicked out because my boy got caught getting head by some chick in the bathroom!” Oooooh boy, what a moment.With the quick arrival of Saturday Rob’s ol’ lady would take me to the beach to see what Vero had to offer. The winds where to high for anything so I just looked up and down the beach for about 3 minutes 42 seconds and then we pursued back to Robs work where he was finishing up cutting the plexi to finish the trophies. With cutting complete Rob and I would fetch some beers and back to the house to finish the trophies up. Yep you guessed it, last minute finishes! It wouldn’t be a show with out them would it?? As people arrived to Robs we’d then head out to get some grub and them to the location where the draggin’ would go on. As people drug up and down the street we would witness on draggin 360 (yeah local) and an almost 3 way collision. All of this would come to an abrupt stop with the arrival of the local PoPo. With the conclusion of the drag session we’d find another location to drink and end the night drooling on the pillow.

With the arrival of Sunday morning comes the regret of Saturday night. With a quick shower and change of clothes we’d head to the show grounds to take in the show. To much of my surprise the Florida boys like to make late arrivals to local and some what local events as a majority of the rides rolled in from 10-12. This was fine with me as I got to continue to sit on my ass for a little while longer letting the McDonalds and coffee brew. After highjacking the golf cart we’d head out for me to get the show coverage taken care of. While rolling around there where some very clean rides along with some up and coming kick ass projects. Show goers’ seem to be having a good time, as there was plenty of food at the show, a kick ass DJ and vendors to browse through. As every show should be, the awards went quick and didn’t drag out. All in all I can’t wait to hit up next years event and if you missed this years you best be marking this shit down on your calander! Thanks to all of Farmfest for bringin’ me out and showing me a good time, next year I better see some gators fuckers!!!! hahaBy Garrick Arends
