With exactly a month to go until Knightcon 2011, it would appear that we somehow missed a very important piece of news coming out of the UK on August 18th.

Amongst the returning guests will be the delightful Michael Scheffe, and the beautiful and talented Rebecca Holden.

However, the big news is the first ever Knight Rider event appearance of Peter Parros, known to one and all as RC3!

In addition, the Knightcon Team have also announced a fourth special guest; Dirk Benedict of Battlestar Galactica and A-Team fame.

Producer Paul Casey's team has finished putting together the official video from Knight Rider Festival III! It is a slick production highlighting all the exciting happenings from the event. And you are able to watch it online for FREE.

If you were in Las Vegas, you'll be able to relive the weekend. If you couldn't make it to Vegas, you'll see all that you missed. Either way, it's sure to get you excited for next year's 30th anniversary celebration!

The amazing duo of Jason and Dan, better known as the gents behind The Shadowy Flight Podcast, have published their first video from Knight Rider Festival III.

Here we are, less than a week to Knight Rider Festival 3. Are you ready? We certainly are!

This week, Catherine Hickland and James Whinburn joined Paul Casey at a special press conference for Knight Rider Festival 3. There they reinforced the message of 'one person making a difference' and how fans from all over the world are descending upon Fremont street next week to support of Children's Miracle Network through the festival.

Don't miss this one folks, it's one for the record books and likely to be the last! There isn't another event in the world that has brought David Hasselhoff to it like they did last year, just imagine what they've got in store for this one!

Visit knight rider festival for more information!

You can always help support our quest by pledging a donation from home directly to the Children's Miracle Network.

And if you can't attend, but still want to be apart, we'll be announcing details of our live streaming coverage in the upcoming week, so check back!

We're now officially less than a month away from Knight Rider Festival! Now in it's third year, producer Paul Casey promises us that this will be one for the record books. If you thought having Michael Knight himself appear last year was big, just imagine what we have in store for you this year!

Remember, as always, this is a free event for the Children's Miracle Network. Your support goes directly to help make a difference in a child's life. Don't delay, there is no guarantee that there will be a fourth year of this, so don't miss out!

But don't worry there is still time to be apart of history! If you are a KITT replica owner and haven't registered, you have until March 1st for the pre-registration cost of $25 ($40 afterwards). Bringing your car gives you access to the exclusive VIP party as well as some other fun things yet to be revealed.

For those without a car, there are a very limited amount of VIP tickets available for $35. It's the only way at Knight Rider Festival to be elbow to elbow with all the great cast and crew of Knight Rider.
