Trucks returning from the parade of trucks.

I understand that this is a new trailer.

I commend the owner on the choice of lettering.

Effects of the early morning rain created a splash and play area. 🙂

The 171 trucks are all back on the grounds of Lebanon Expo.

Bunny O’Hare gave a chapel update for Chaplain Chris – concerning a lady who escaped to TFC’s chapel at Harrisburg when she realized the trucker planned to keep her for sexual favors. The lady had gotten in his truck to get a ride to Philadelphia. By the time they got to Harrisburg, she realized that he had no intention of going to Philadelphia.

Dan Witwer – TFC’s new President & CEO – gave a ministry update.

Our son Jere – Rally Coordinator – came on stage to make a few announcements before Cerwin shared a bit about the new chapel that would be dedicated the next day and the evening offering.

The Perrys closed the evening with another half-hour-concert.

John and Karen’s rig looked pretty at the end of the day – as I was preparing to head home – and most other truckers had left the grounds.
