Great shows take on a life of their own. Typically they are jam-packed with entertainment and loaded with an overflowing collection of custom trucks. They become a gathering place where you can meet old friends and celebrate good times. Slammin' and Jammin', now in its 16th year, has become one of the top summertime shows in the East. The James E. Ward Agricultural Center in Lebanon, Tennessee, has welcomed the event since its inception, providing tree-lined display spaces, a burnout pit, and an open-air pavilion for all the weekend action. This year more than 8,500 folks arrived for the Memorial Day weekend reunion, enjoying the noisy and smoky burnout competition, the wild hydraulic exhibition, live musical entertainment, and the Slik Chix girls demonstrating their wrestling skills in baby oil!Joe Cowart's beautifully restyled...
