Alright we just had our monthly meeting yesterday to kick off the new year of 2015 and we have a set date this year for the truck show.

Several of you have been asking about it and the dates are finally here. We will have the show in conjunction with the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) along with the grand opening of Newell's Tuck Center (where it has previously been at, now under new ownership and management) all going on that weekend. There are going to be a lot of new vendors there this year coming from Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. One of the big sponsors and groups that will be there is Chrome Shop Mafia along with Wilkins Oklahoma Truck Supply.

We are going to have all kinds of new activities going on as well with the grand opening and they have added a lot more classes to the main truck show including race cars, tractors and even truck/ car classes.

The whole show is free of charge and a great enjoyment for the whole family as many of the previous attenders would agree. It's a great atmosphere and a lot to do so we are really looking forward to having even more people attend this year.

I will get rooms setup and available as we did last time at discounted rates but I need to know about how many to reserve, so if anyone is interested let me know and I'll get a tally on about how rooms we will need and go from there.

If you have any questions for me about the show or facilities, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance,
Tyler

I'll certainly plan on coming, but I might be in Pennsylvania for the month training for work. Not sure on that yet though, still up in the air. Was a fun show last time! Only a couple hour drive for me now, just moved to Topeka.

Well I'm going to plan on being there. Going to work harder on the truck (need to get the paint right) so I can make it. But I will probably be bob-tailing the whole weekend. Only about 165 miles for me, so I would very much like to attend.

Thanks,
Chris

Hey JD, hadn't seen that you moved, give me a hollar some time. I had your number until I had to switch phones. I'm running all over the eastern part of the state now and I'll actually be up your way tomorrow and tuesday. May hit ya up while I'm around.

Good to hear from ya.

Chris where are you located in KS? I'm actually in Newton and it's nice to know there are some more guys around this area getting into the hobby finally. Doesn't sound like you're too far from me.

Any updates on this show? Where exactly is the location and what are the show times? Need to get my room reserved.

Thanks,

Roll call time and an update. Seeing how many we are needing for the room reservations this year. I have three rooms booked so far and have 7 more available that we pre booked for the show.

I am trying to get areas setup for dirt moving again as well as some other space for the show queens and trucks that people don't want in the dirt.

I have been asked a couple of times what all we will have and right now I have an allotment of dirt brought in like the previous years and the possibility of a bridge and warehouse area if some people bring some pieces with them. Just looking for input on the show ideas from the people interested.

If I could get some more ideas, send them this way.

Yes I am. They are under new ownership since last fall and they are throwing a grand opening in junction with the antique truck show that same weekend.

Chris we have a back up indoors for Saturday if the weather turns to complete crap on us. We will have two large tents at the show and I'll be bringing my 10x10 as well that we will have covering the entire area and I'll tarp it off if need be too.

A big thanks to everyone that attended the show again this year and made it all possible. I know we had a blast even with the few sprinkles in the morning, but it was great to meet some new faces and also get the machines out to working again. The Antique Truck group and those from Newell's wanted to say thank you as well in devoting your time and efforts to make another great show and have invited everyone back for next year as well to do it all again.

I apologize for not getting any pictures this year but if anyone els snapped any and wants to post them that would be great.

There has already been talk about making a longer show for the fall and much interest in it for a large indoor show that we could run for a few days throughout and if there is enough interest from others that weren't able to make this spring show, please let me know if you guys would be interested and around what times work best for everybody's schedules.

Thanks again greatly to everyone involved and interested in coming back again.

Was a lot of fun. Met some new people and learned a few things on my first outing. Like I need to lock my differentials and Integy front bumer mounts will break when they encounter an immovable concrete object. :eek: Will definately be putting more upgrades and looking to attend again.

I would like to see a fall event myself. Probably 3 days long around mid October?

That was blast wished my truck would have cooperated a little better but all in all it was fun. Got to meet some new friends and learned a few things myself. Thanks Tyler for putting it on. I'd be interested in a fall show as well.
