Calico Rock, AR to host Bootleggers Day

Bootleggers was filmed in and around Calico Rock, AR. In celebration of this film and historic Calico Rock, AR the city will host Bootleggers day June 15-16, 2007 to celebrate our historic past, especially the connection to "The Bootleggers." You can get more information on the "Days" and order copies of the movie from the Calico Rock Chamber offices at 870-297-4129.

All of the historic buildings used in the filming are still present, except for the "jail" that was destroyed to break the boys out. Of course it was just a prop to begin with. Many of the "extras" still live in and around Calico Rock and many more residents can share true stories about real Bootleggers from the era.
