CELEBRATE TWO HAZZARD COUNTY LEGENDS!

A Historic Birthday Weekend at Cooter’s in the Valley

August 28–30, 2026

Join us for one of the most memorable weekends in Cooter’s history as we celebrate two beloved members of the Dukes of Hazzard family!

Sonny Shroyer (“Enos”) will celebrate his 91st birthday on August 28, and Ben Jones (“Cooter”) will celebrate his 85th birthday on August 30.

The centerpiece of this special weekend will be Saturday, August 29, when both Sonny and Ben will be together at Cooter’s in Luray for a rare joint birthday celebration with fans.

Joining them will be:

• Catherine Bach (“Daisy Duke”)
• Tom Wopat (“Luke Duke”)
• Byron Cherry (“Coy Duke”)
• Jeff Altman (“Hughie Hogg”)

Along with special guests, live music, entertainment, and plenty of Hazzard County fun throughout the weekend.

Activities will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, giving fans three days to celebrate, reminisce, and make new memories with some of their favorite Dukes stars.

This is truly a historic Hazzard County moment. Opportunities to celebrate with both Ben Jones and Sonny Shroyer together are increasingly rare, making this a priceless occasion for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Come help us honor two remarkable gentlemen whose friendship, talent, and unforgettable characters have brought joy to generations.
