Macungie Antique Truck Show

Friday & Saturday, June 18 & 19

 

 

We arrived at the show about 3:00 p.m. Friday to replace Chaplain Jake Wise who was manning the chapel until we got there. Cerwin and Jake had taken the chapel to Macungie on Thursday.

 

 

I decided to choose some of my favorite pictures, and make only one post – even though I took almost 200 pictures.

 

 

Enjoy a trip into the past with some of these interesting, beautiful old trucks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was an area where vendors had all kinds of parts for sale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was the view from the chapel door before we went to bed on Friday night. We slept in the living quarters of the chapel.

 

 

I enjoyed coffee and the sights and sounds of the grounds while working on my laptop early Saturday morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How is that for a comfortable seat?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed watching these two men start this old fire truck.

 

 

You can see our friends Wil and Geof Stoner – pulling Wil & Sherry’s son Trent in the wagon. It was partly due to these two men that we were invited to bring the chapel to the show. Notice the excellent spot that we were given. It felt like we were given the best spot on the grounds.

Many people thanked us for being there and told us the chapel was a great addition to the show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There were 595 registered trucks.

 

 

We had a steady stream of visitors inside and outside the chapel.

 

 

Cerwin liked this chain-drive truck.

 

 

Chaplain George Freeman this picture for you. We enjoyed visiting with your friend Denis Yaworski.

Chaplain Jake Wise and his son Jesse (seated right) came to relieve us on Saturday afternoon. Jake planned to stay to watch some of the trucks leaving, then he was taking the chapel to his home church where he was sharing about the ministry on Sunday morning.

If you live in southeastern Pennsylvania, and need something to do tomorrow – Saturday, June 26 – come see us at the Lebanon Expo Center for the Truck Rally.

We just got home from Friday night setup. We desire prayer for safety as there will be many trucks and people on the grounds.
