The Lawrence County Economic Growth Council estimates Those attending the Boogie will bring an estimated $7 million patronizing restaurants, shops and inns this weekend.
Jay Jackson, ABATE's executive director, says the Boogie is much more than motorcyclist gathering for camping, food and fun - it's a family reunion.
