(Words and\u00a0photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Back with more from the annual Cynthiana Rod Run.\u00a0 This year the number of cars topped 1,600 registered and we saw plenty come and go without heading to the registration tent.\u00a0 There is a lot to take in at this community\/county event.\u00a0 Plenty of food, live music, shopping, arm wrestling, eating contests and more.\u00a0 We\u2019ve never gotten bored walking around checking things out.<\/p>\n

This gallery has plenty of variety with photos of imports, rods, and more.\u00a0 The celebrity attraction at this event was Butch Patrick who played \u2018Eddie Munster\u2019 on the TV show The Munsters.\u00a0 He brought his own re-creations of the Munster Coach and Dragula.\u00a0 Butch was on hand to sign autographs and showcase the cars.\u00a0 There\u2019s no staff helping him with these appearances as he was hands-on doing everything, chatting with attendees, and getting to see some of the rides folks brought out.\u00a0 He seemed to be thoroughly impressed with how well the event is produced and the turnout while still being such a relatively young (6 years) deal.<\/p>\n

The \u201940 Tudor in front of the mural depicting Kentucky basketball coaching legend, Joe B. Hall, was one of my favorites of the event.\u00a0 Another favorite is the supercharged Studebaker Avanti.\u00a0 I can\u2019t really explain my attraction to Avantis, but they are certainly exotic-looking and this one was \u2018just right\u2019.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more from the Rod Run and we hope you enjoy the photos.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
