Kentucky is the home of some pretty cool stuff. Bourbon, awesome chicken, the famous Kentucky Derby, and also one hell of a car show.

The Third Annual Unleashed Show was held this year on May 16-17 in London, Kentucky. Saturday was beautiful all day as was Sunday up until it was awards time. The bottom seemingly fell out of the sky, sending a total soaking to anyone who was not fast enough to get out of there (mostly the vendors). For the trophies Chris Wilson and his crew pulled off some pretty cool tricks when they did their awards. Thanks to Mike Crumpler and Josh "Bacon" Hibbard, they painted the basecoat on some old bowling pins and then Kevin Geary laid down some lines, making them some very sought-after awards.

Mark your calendars for next May and come join us and the Unleashed crew for another slam dunk show. For future event info, check out Unleashedky.com or call Chris Wilson at (606) 493-7325.
