Lakeport Kulture Shock Car Show  Saturday, June 19, 2010

LAKEPORT- Kulture Shock Car Show is one of many events the town of Lakeport on beautiful Clearlake, plays host to throughout the year. This popular fishing destination also holds many fishing contests and competitions. Departing from that sport, cars are another favorite sport that are celebrated in car gatherings such as the cool, Kulture Shock Car Show. Started in 2005 by nostalgia car lover, Rick Rose, this car show is a step back in time to the 50’s & 60’s era incorporating 1964 and older hot rods, customs, gassers, classics, vintage race cars along with original and traditional 50’s & 60’s chopper and bobber style motorcycles.

Held at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport, this show is located in the beautiful country an hour northeast of Calistoga and Napa wine country or two hours by car northwest of Sacramento. Clear Lake is recognized as the best bass fishing lake in the United States based on number of fish caught. Fishing, boating, water skiing and hiking trails, are all activities tourists enjoy when visiting and attending events such as the Kulture Shock Car Show in Lakeport.
