HARPERS AUTO SQUARE CARS AND COFFEE, MIDWAY MILKSHAKE YOU SAY, A FURNITURE STORE MUSEUM- OGLES ?

When the CARHUNTER relocated to Eastern Tennessee the draw was so many car events, but that came with so much misguided planning, clickish clubs, hidden agendas and egos. It is puzzling, instead of just getting together to enjoy events to build them up there are more small shows planned on the same days and head butting!
An event I have to give kudos to is the Harpers Auto Square Cars and Coffee! 
Like so many large events here many local car folks bad mouth it. 
Too many exotic newer cars, not enough classics or hot rods and other complaints.
Free event that draws thousands of vehicles, everything from a Ford Model A to a big dollar exotic with everything in between.
Always something new and interesting to see, people of all races, age groups and interests just having a great time. 
Can I get on my soapbox and preach here, NO YOU AIN'T FROM HERE!
