Red-neck festival attracts hundreds
The first ever “Redneck-a-palooza”, a country and western music festival, has been held in Springfield, Illinois.
For the men, there was a “best mullet” haircut contest, while women entered the Daisy Duke competition to see who most resembled the feisty Dukes of Hazzard character known for her cut-off shorts.
About 1,000 revellers watched performances by Jackyl, Bo Fudd and the Do-Rite Boyz, the Lost Boys and Hayseed Dixie.
