When the parade was over, I walked around the grounds and through the buildings looking for photo opportunities.
This is what I saw…
Truckers visiting among the trucks
Exhibitors in West Hall
That’s where I found Lynn and her husband, Jon.
Lynn is from the International Office and was helping with a truckers survey.
The Children’s Activity area was busy from the time it opened at 11:30 until it closed at 3:30.
When I entered, I met these three and their grandma who were going for free ice cream cones – because they had finished the scavenger hunt.
To complete the scavenger hunt, the children have to get signatures of specific truckers (by the truck they drive – Peterbilt, Kenworth, etc.), count vendors, and find stamps in specific area.
We gave away sixty cones this year. 🙂
This young fellow is trying to get a lollipop.
The corn bin was popular with the young ones.
The electronic bull ~ by The Bull Guys ~ was a fun challenge.
Auntie Anne’s and the ice cream truck are popular places.
There is also food in the fairgrounds kitchen.
2:30 PM ~ Nevin Ebersole auctioned at the Children’s Auction.
I was delighted when Martin Reiff came to me and said that his son-in-law would take me up on the man-lift.
Martin knows I love to have that opportunity.
Hey, Sam Rittenhouse! I caught you getting ice cream. 🙂
Oh, look! It’s my friends, “The Three Stooges.” 🙂
Our grandson Jared must have visited Clair and Millie Stauffer’s stand in West Hall.
The 4:00 PM Children’s Program was by Kingdom Kidz Puppet Ministry.
They did a great job of sharing the gospel on the kids level.
Their finale was a real hit ~ when the children got to hold the puppets and help with the last song.
They must have 30 or 40 puppets.
Our grandson Jesse loved his debut as a puppeteer.
There are a lot more pictures from the afternoon on my Facebook page ~ https://www.facebook.com/doris.j.high/media_set?set=a.10152192667992322.1073741842.612697321&type=3
Wow — much more than just a truck rally! I love that you were able to get such wonderful overhead shots! And such good activities for the kids, too!
