Dukes of Hazzard Taking Over Knight Rider Festival

Move over, KITT. The General Lee is taking center stage in Las Vegas on May 18 & 19, 2012, during the Las Vegas Star Cars and Knight Rider 30th Anniversary Convention! Once separate events, these shindigs have been combined by powerhouse Vegas promoter Paul Casey.

The vehicles in attendance will include various incarnations of KITT and probably a dozen or more General Lees. In addition to the iconic cars from Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard, you’ll find famous vehicles from Smokey & The Bandit, The A-Team, The Green Hornet, American Graffiti, Ghostbusters, and anything else that shows up.

The event is FREE to the public, but star car owners are asked to pony up for the Children’s Miracle Network. Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider, co-founder of the charity, is participating in the event and will be signing autographs. “Bo Duke” will be joined by Dukes of Hazzard alumni Byron Cherry, (Coy Duke) and Don Pedro Colley (Sheriff Little.) Catherine Bach has also been invited, but as of HazzardNet press time, her participation is unconfirmed.

Some Knight Rider stars will be there too, but hey, this is a Dukes website and we’re just a little selfish. Go to the official Las Vegas Star Cars website for more details about all the celebrities and cars!

We’re willing to bet that Dukes of Hazzard fans and General Lees take the event over by sheer numbers . It would serve Knight Rider just desserts for picking on The Dukes of Hazzard during the 80’s. Odds are, a lot of Dixie horns will be heard in Las Vegas!

What’s Ahead for the Dukes of Hazzard?

There were questions recently about whether CMT was going to continue airing the Dukes of Hazzard, as no episodes are scheduled for next week. But when we checked CMT’s website today, along with national TV listings, it looks like the Dukes of Hazzard will air on March 13 at 2:00 a.m. eastern, with the episode, “Deputy Dukes.” Near as we can tell, the Dukes of Hazzard will air on CMT after that, as usual. If we find out anything else we’ll let ya know!

“Dear Diary” – When Flash buries Rosco’s diary, the Dukes dig up the book of dirty deeds! A pair of crooks complicate the matter when they blackmail ol’ Boss.

“New Deputy in Town” – She’s pretty, and she’s poison! It’s all part of a getaway scheme, and when the Dukes get in the way, they’re given a one-way trip.

“Birds Gotta Fly” – A dirty ruthless, female stock car driver recruits Daisy for a new career in racing. But Boss Hoggs cuts himself in on the deal, and dirty tricks put Daisy at risk.

“Bad Day in Hazzard” – A well-prepared gang of criminals round up the Dukes and the Hazzard law, keeping them pinned down to prevent interference with a heist. Boss Hogg and Jesse Duke are once again allies in a desperate hour.

“Miss Tri-Counties” – A beauty contest is rigged before it starts, but Daisy Duke puts on her best moves to beat the unfair competition!

“The Law and Jesse Duke” – The Hazzard law goes on strike, Boss Hogg frames Bo and Luke, and Uncle Jesse is conned into becoming the acting Sheriff. Boss lives to regret it, especially after Jesse’s imitation of Rosco. Khee khee!

“Dukes in Danger” – Two escaped convicts take the Dukes hostage in their own home, adding Boss and Rosco as captives when they arrive to foreclose on the farm. Their only chance for rescue is Cooter, who seems unaware of their plight!

News: Dukes of Hazzard’s John Schneider Appearing in Monticello, Iowa!

His popularity began as “Bo Duke” and it hasn’t slowed down ever since! John Schneider is a veteran actor who has appeared in many TV shows, including “The Dukes of Hazzard”, “Smallville”, “Glee”, “Trick My What?” and more. He has numerous movie roles on his resume’, plus he’s had a successful recording career and still does a concert now and then. So, what is John doing at the Rod & Custom Car Show in Monticello, Iowa on Feb 25 & 26?

John will be signing autographs and having his picture taken, no doubt, and he’ll be making a lot of fans happy in the process! Much like Tom Wopat did last weekend at the car show in Canton, Ohio.

It says something about the enduring nature of The Dukes of Hazzard that “Bo and Luke Duke” still draw crowds at car shows. And the fact that John Schneider and Tom Wopat are still willing to sign trunk lids and toy General Lees, says something special about them both.

John will be at the Monticello Berndes Center on Saturday, Feb 25 from noon until 4:00 p.m. He will return that same evening from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Sunday, Feb 26, he will be there from 10:00 a.m. t0 2:00 p.m. Visit the show website for more information.

If you go, remember that getting there early is the name of the game. We do not know how much John is charging for autographs at this show. Bring extra cash, and bring only what you can reasonably afford to have signed. Merchandise and photos are usually available at John’s booth.

As always, feel welcome to share your experience and photos with us on our Facebook page and on our Forums!
