There were a lot of show trucks this year – many are not working trucks, but others are still used for hauling freight, and anything else that trucks haul.

This is the only truck whose owner we know.  Jason was not there when I took these photos.

When I got back to the TFC booth, Cerwin was visiting with his cousin Resie, and her husband Leon.

Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with everything God has for you.

Trucks – Visitors – Lunch – A Surprise

Mid-America Truck Show

Thursday, March 22

You may remember that I was visiting North and South Halls in my previous MATS blog.

I liked this color scheme.

I’m not sure I like this color scheme, but it sure is an attention-getter.

It seems that you could easily see this one on the road.

I like red, white, and blue.

When I arrived back at our vendor booth Cerwin was explaining the TFC slides to two visitors.

Pearl graciously made us lunch each day – in their fifth-wheel camper. Eating at the show is quite expensive, so this is a great benefit to our expense accounts.

Each day there was a different yummy soup.

We took turns eating so there was always someone at the booth. Delton Rissler was interested in talking to Gary about being a vendor at the Ohio Truck Rally, so when Gary came back from lunch, I introduced them.

We always enjoy talking with Kendis Paris from TAT (Truckers Against Trafficking). Last year we shared a booth with them. This year they have their own exhibitor space.

We noticed that WSM had a booth just two spaces away, but didn’t pay much attention until we heard music, which was usually amateurs.

One time when I went by, I stopped and did a double-take when I saw Eddie Stubbs. I stopped and said, “I think I see you on TV most Saturday nights.” He shook my hand and said, “You must watch the Marty Stuart show.”

I went back to our booth and told Cerwin to come with me to meet someone. That was fun.

We Had Our Own Truck Show Tonight!

I just had to post this. I will go back to the Kentucky Truck Show tomorrow night.

~~~

Our son Jeff called just after supper, asking if we were at home. He said he had something he wanted to show us.

I was surprised when I looked out the window and saw the Clampetts coming in our driveway!

I love it!

Jeff and Chris knew about this 1946 Chevy for many years, and Chris said she hoped they could buy it someday. When they asked the owner, he was not ready to part with it. Yesterday he was ready to sell.

The 283 V8 Engine runs smoothly and sounds nice.

Cerwin looks like a happy trucker.

I think of all the things they ever purchased, this is my favorite.
