Truck Rally is Getting Closer!

 

Cerwin decided to take the chapel to the Lebanon Expo Center early – for two reasons:  to get there before the predicted afternoon rain; and to get the keys for the buildings.  I met him there with a car – so he had a way home.

 

 

We knew there were a few campers there already, but were surprised to discover the first trucker – polishing his 2005 Pete.  He was in the area, and decided it wasn’t worthwhile going home to New Jersey, and then travel back again.

 

How do you like that 350 inch wheel base?

 

  

Cerwin and Barry Grim had to check that out!

Barry and Lucy coordinate camper parking, and come early because several campers set up on Friday afternoon so they are ready to help with Rally setup in the evening.

The entire rig is 86-1/2 feet long.

 

Evening

 

One of the first things we do is unload the trailerload of flowers donated by Esbenshade Greenhouses.

 

They certainly add beauty to the vendor room.

 

Some of the truck vendors also set up tonight.

 

We were amazed that there were a dozen trucks there by the time we left at 8 PM.  We often have three or four park on the lot Friday evening, but have never had this many the night before the Rally.

 

 

Maybe that is a good sign there will be a lot of trucks tomorrow!
