LAS VEGAS — The 2012 Parnelli Awards return to Las Vegas this October, and plans are already underway for an even bigger and better event than last year’s celebration in Orlando. A video recap of the 2011 awards program is now online at parnelliawards.com. Along with the evening’s highlights, including Kenny Chesney’s surprise appearance to present Ed Wannebo (pictured here) with his Lifetime Achievement Award, the highlight reel features masters of ceremonies Flo and Eddie (of Turtles fame) and the presentation of the Parnelli Visionary Award (to Jim Fackert) and Parnelli Audio Innovator Award (to Kenton Forsythe).
