Very nice campgrounds, located at the Bill Monroe music park in Bean Blossom, Indiana. These campgrounds used to be part of the old Indiana ABATE bean blossom boogie which has since located to newer, larger facilities. Not to mention become a major national rally and industry in it's own right. Lucky for real bikers and wild party lovers throughout the eastern United States, the heart of the old boogie still lives on... at Bean Blossom.
What's in a good bike rally? Bands? You want bands? Forget your socks, this festival will rock ! Pound for pound this rally packed more bands and quality music than the year-end inventory blowout sale at your local bargain store. Top notch bands, at bargain basement rates.
A pool tournament with a honest to God real pool table for first prize. Bike games? They've got'em! Motorcycle show, sure! First prize? A trip to Vegas! A burn out contest, jaw poppin' custom bike builders? Believe it! This rally was really well done and had it all.
I would guess there were around 5,000 people or so showing up for this one, with all the usual tailgate parties going on here and there in the campgrounds. This entire rally had a ''good'' feel to it with friendly people, great bands, good contests and a hard to beat location. Plenty of private camping spots, plenty of shade everywhere. And of course vendors catering to your every need.
You don't often hear me really rave about a bike fest, but this one definately deserves it. Not the wildest rally around, but just a great old school ''let's get together and have a party'' weekend.
Too bad it's only once a year. I am soooooooo putting this one on my ''to go to'' list for next season, and you should to.
