Sometimes The Best Ideas Are Right Under Your Nose But You Never See Them.Drop 'Em Wear? Clothing Company hit the show scene in '94 and since then they have been traveling over 60,000 miles each year to hit shows all over the country. So why did it take them 15 years to figure out "Hey, we should put on our own show"? The truth is, they've always wanted to, but never really had the extra time. We are proud to report that Drop 'Em Wear? has finally brought their loyal fans and customers a long awaited event to come hang out with the crew. This one day event was held at the Drop 'Em Wear? warehouse in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The show was held November 1st with some of the most beautiful weather any show promoter could ask for. They had events going on all through the day like a taillight guessing contest, as well some competitive eating contests. The entry to this show was only $10 and with that you got a chance to snag one of the golden Drop 'Em Wear? dudes as a trophy. These awards were hand made by the owner John Beebe himself (is there anything this guy can't do?). They also did a killer event T-shirt for this event. Overall, a wonderful crowd, awesome show, and great support make this show a no-brainer to bring back for the 2009 show season as a two-day event!
