Das Awkscht Fescht 2015

It was another great weekend at the Das Awkscht Fescht. The Chrysler 300 had a good showing.  I like the way they lined the cars facing out for all to see the difference between the years.We had a good turn out of Oaklands about 10 cars on Sunday. The Die hard were there all three days. Sunday the buzz as the crowd passed by was that the OAKLAND is going to be under the tent next year.
