Retro-Con Hosts Dukes Of Hazzard Cast and More
The probation is over for Bo and Luke Duke. They are now allowed to cross state lines. They attended the Retro-Con in Oaks Pa. and they brought their cousin, Daisy with them, to keep them out of trouble. The Dukes Of Hazzard has been off the air for about 30 years but you would not know it, as hundreds lined up to meet John Schneider, Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach.
Bach had the longest line, as hundreds of fans showed up to get a selfie with her, get an autograph and chat. There is a plethora of merchandise for the Dukes Of Hazzard and some of it was for sale at the convention. Others sat in collections around the area, and their owners got those items signed. There were paid photo ops with the three cast members in front of a General Lee.
It was not just the Dukes that were there, Greg Evigan, from BJ & the Bear showed up. He looks just like he did in the early 1980’s.
