yeah i would have loved to look inside at the wonderful store and shopped! guess i’ll have to another day! unfortunatly i was outside in the cold for 3 & 1/2 hrs with 2 kids and a husband freezing in line for them to see tony stewart,martintruex jr, and the alabama gang race car drives.we got inside and the man announced they were done with 15 minutes left of their appearance. we got to see martin truex jr only but my 6 yr old got trampled and pushed out of the way in the process by some very rude adults that should be ashamed of their selves!
we wouldn’t have got to see him if it weren’t for one nice teenager telling martin truex what was happening as he was leaving. it makes you not want to take them anywhere with people like that and we are seeing more and more of them and we are supose to be teaching our kids to act like what? it’s pretty sad u run over a child and put them in tears to get your way! and whoever was in charge of security or organizing that should know i wasen’t the only parent upset the drivers were still wanting to sign autographs for the kids and yall were pushing them out the door! u should be ashamed! i left that store not wanting to ever go back or spend my money there and i know i wasen’t the only one! my kids were so excited about that store and going last night.
