There were so many highlights at Owensboro's first-ever Color Blast 5K, it was really hard to count them all. We had the awesome impromptu Harlem Shake video in which 4,000 people threw packets of color up in the air. We had glorious weather and a record-breaking crowd join us at English Park for the biggest 5K in the history of Owensboro-Daviess County. We raised tons of money for six different agencies serving individuals with developmental disabilities. And we had some terrific performances on the Showmobile stage. And one of those performances was delivered by Leland Isbill. Watch this kid play the harmonica! He will knock your socks off!

The Color Blast 5K in downtown Owensboro was a tremendous hit and success. Over 4,200 runners/walkers attended the event and stuck around for the big after-party at English Park! There, each participant was handed a bag full of color and that color went flying when we decided to film a Color Blast 5K Harlem Shake video! WATCH!!
