Come Meet the “Girls of the Lick”
Come meet “The Girls” from Lizard Lick Towing & Recovery at the Strawberry Festival on Saturday April 28th from 10am until 6pm. The one and only “BIG Juicy”, and the beautiful, yet tough and sexy, Mrs Amy Shirley (the real “BOSS of the LICK”), will be signing autographs and taking pictures with the Lizard Lick fans……..aka “The Lick Nation”. One of the Lizard Lick tow trucks will be there for photos with kids and adults. The Girls will also have the Lizard Lick mobile store on site with all of the latest Lizard Lick T-shirts and merchandise, including the unveiling of the new “Team Amy” tank top design, “the real boss of The Lick”! Come check us out and see what living the “LICK LIFE” is all about! You want to get there early to beat the crowds. This is a once in a lifetime chance to spend some time with the “Girls of the Lick”!!!!! Get ready, cause Amy is hotter than a gasoline-dipped hen at a chicken roast! You’d rather give a grizzly bear a back rub with a hand full of razor blades than miss this event! The festival will take place in Cleveland at Exit 312 off of I-40, behind the Food Lion shopping center. The booth will be located in front of the “Fit for Life” building. Be there or “Get Licked!”

Dr. also if you saw that artical and the featurd shows Jessica Jones has a spot from 1:30 to 2:00 and to everyone that knows me YES that is My baby Girl she will be performing some of her favorite songs and then later that evening at the JoCo LoCo compitition at laurel lane interiros she will be competeing for the local talent show. get your tickets now!

 

Woohoo, GAM, can't wait to hear her, still hard for me to believe she is all grown up!

 

We would LOVE to go to the festival, but can never find any place to park. Wish there was a shuttle bus; I am sure I am not the only one who has this problem.:?:

 

Stop by the RE/MAX Southland Booth, we r giving away a Lowes GC & MY DD is selling raffle tix for an IPOD nano to raise money for the Childrens Miracle Network

WOW GM good to know my DD Abby is performing at 3 & at JOCO LOCO that night too! I would love to meet you & good luck to yall!

 

Oh, would LOVE a shuttle ... impossible to park, or even drive to it some years.

 

We've never gone & thought about going this year. However, we too have a "bus" to park. Big vans are hard enough to park as it is during something normal like a parking lot. If we do end up going, where in the world do you all park? Also, is there a cost for certain things? Just would be curious how much to bring. Thanks.

Stephanie-- mom to 10

 

I parked @ FL and didn't have any trouble finding a spot. Of course it was 3:00 when I got there tho.

 

Worked the 4042.com booth all day & great meeting a lot of you guys & hearing how much 4042.com has helped you, never heard anyone complain abt parking, i saw spots open in food lion all day even with the biggest turnout ever, great day but long, i am worn out. Good luck to everyone that got a ticket to win $100 cash on May 1s!

 

We were there too and found parking pretty easy. As always, the festival was GREAT! Love the Strawberry Festival, I think it gets better every year.

 

Why can't the festival be moved to somewhere bigger - like C3 parking lot?? Seems so practical and could fit plenty of booths and parking. I love the Strawberry Festival but think the location could be better -- less headaches with traffic/parking, etc.

 

I agree. I love the festival but the crowd on the main stretch is almost unbearable to me. It feel like you are at the fair and you can't stop and look without being pushed by the people behind you.

 

Oh yay, then they could accost patrons even more...

I had four in a row try to hand me their bags as I walked by their set up. You would think they heard me tell the person two feet from them "No thanks".

Maybe they could put on their own festival... with a Nascar. Wait, they did that already lol

 

Actually it was held at c3 several years ago, don't know why but decision was made by either c3 or chamber to move it. Actually we are pretty lucky to be able to close off a street on a Sat to hold a local festival & i love to see all the people that come from all over JoCo to support our local community

 

I agree Michelle You feel like if you stop for a second to really enjoy a booth you're blocking traffic. Too narrow.

Great festival - but could definitely flow better. Just my humble opinion.

BUT - thanks Chamber for putting it on each year!

 

my recommendation would be to move the booths to the back of the curb, so the whole street could be used for walking. it felt very tight this year. we were there 10-11 . parked at the bank across from the end of the festival.

 

Anybody else hate those great big strollers people seem to love to use when it's really crowded? Do they not sell the umbrella ones anymore?
