Activities will begin at 6:30 PM with a bounce house, free books for the first 200 children, a beach ball drop, activities and of course, a concert by Mini Kiss!

The band Mini Kiss is a Kiss tribute band made up entirely of little people.  The band started in New York City, the same place that the rock band KISS got their start and they are the most popular band made of little people in the United States.  The band has been featured in major motion pictures as well as in a Super Bowl commercial.

Just prior to the concert, Ripley’s will be hosting a KISS look- alike contest.  Come in your best KISS costume and you may win $100 or some great prizes.

Activities will begin at 6:30 PM with the band going on stage shortly after. All activities are free and Ripley’s parking lot will be available after 4 PM that day to vehicular traffic.

 Trucks from north and central Florida joined in a procession led by the St. Augustine Police department. The parade began south on San Marco Ave and continued to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! where trucks were greeted by a number of spectators and judges who would critique their vehicles in four areas:

• Exterior Appearance
• Interior Appearance
• Drivability
• The back story of how they came to own the vehicle

The participants had a variety of trucks on display ranging from models in the 1960’s to early 2000’s.  There were ten contestants in all and Ripley’s hopes to grow the event and host it annually.

The grand prize of $500 and a trophy went to John Labutti and his 1968 Kaiser M715. The truck/Jeep was a monster size measuring close to 8 feet tall. The interior driver’s side floor was patched with old license plates.  When asked what made his truck special, John said “Chuck Norris would drive it.”

Matt Rowland brought his 1963 F250. This beauty has been buried for decades under “25 years of chicken poop and farm equipment.”  Matt spent several weekends restoring his truck in preparation for the parade.

Jay Woodley showcased his custom “Zombiemobile” that his friends have dubbed the “Walker Plow 9000.”  It was adorned with skulls, barbed wire and bloody handprints.
