The beer in one hand and a roasted turkey leg in the other sounds good though. Thanks for the comment. Steve – I can’t imagine 1 million people in a town of 6,442–it must have been chaos.

Many shopkeepers actually VACATE their stores and lease their space for the event, same goes for personal homes. During Harley-Davidsons 100th anniversary year in 2003 attendance was nearly 1 million people. Where else on earth can you see so much while standing on the corner with a beer in one hand and a roasted turkey leg in the other!!
