Whether you’re a die-hard truck enthusiast or just looking for a fun family outing, this event has something for everyone!
“The heritage show is expecting five to seven hundred attendees to make an appearance over the two days,” says event coordinator John Burley.
“Normally we have around 150 trucks that roll in over the weekend.”
Bring the kids along for a day filled with joy, featuring model and remote-controlled trucks, as well as a jumping castle to keep the little ones entertained while you soak in the sights of classic trucks.
Stroll through the impressive displays while enjoying live music and a catered feast with a variety of food options to choose from.
Plus, make sure you don’t miss your chance to grab some unique merchandise from the American Truck Historical Society Club.
“This is a chance to see the ol’ trucks up close that run up and down the highway, they’re different to the newer ones we have now,” John says.
“You can chat to the drivers, they’re always happy to talk, or just enjoy the amazing displays.”
For those showcasing their beloved trucks, enjoy the chance to connect with your fellow exhibitors and take advantage of the free camping on offer.
Entry to the show is affordable, with adult tickets priced at just $10 per day, or $15 for a two-day pass, while children under 16 can enter for free. All dogs are welcome, but please keep them on a leash.
So, mark your calendars, gather your friends and family and gear up for an unforgettable weekend of heritage, history, and heart.
