Trucker’s Day at the Buck

To Benefit Children’s Miracle Network

Saturday, August 14

 

 

 

We were pleased to be invited to take the International Chapel to this event.

 

 

It was another day of viewing beautiful rigs as they drove by the chapel.

 

 

I liked the smileys on each of the A.J. Blosenski rigs.

 

 

 

 

 

There are several large fleets at this show.

 

 

There are also things for children to do.

 

 

While Cerwin maned the chapel, I went to the auction and bought a crape myrtle tree, which added some beauty to our spot at the show. (You can see where we planted it on my previous entry.)

The interior of our rig looks like a small church – this one looks like a small store.

 I like the colors of this truck.

While walking the lot, I met our friend Paul Rissler (left) from California, Missouri, as he sat in the shadow of the next truck visiting with the driver.

 

 

Paul’s truck is the white/green one on the right. He won third place in his category.

 

 

These dogs and their owners were enjoying a walk around the lot

 

 

Meanwhile, back at the chapel there were lots of visitors.

 

 

Chaplain Jake (front left) came to help us at the chapel, and spent some time in the chapel visiting drivers.

 

 

Vendors had to leave at 3:00 p.m. (we are considered a vendor) to make room for the cars and trucks that come for the evening activities. Watching the pull trucks arrive as we left, made us want to make plans to stay for the truck pulls next year. A representative of the show said we can park in the lot next door if we wish to stay.

 

 

So ended another wonderful day.
