44th Walcott Truckers Jamboree Starts July 13th
The Iowa 80 Truckstop prides itself as being “The World’s Largest Truckstop”, but it is also home to the largest trucking event of the year. This year the folks over in Walcott, Iowa are planning to maintain that record by aiming higher than ever before.
Details
The previous year’s Walcott Truckers Jamboree had 45,000 attendees, and the people behind the event are hoping that they will be able to break this record this year. Key events that we at TopMark Funding think are worth highlighting include:
- Iowa Pork Chop Cook-out.
- Trucker Olympics.
- Electric Shock: The AC/DC Show (tribute band).
- Super Truck Beauty Contest.
- Trucker’s Best Friend Pet Contest.
- 100th Birthday Celebration of the Mack 1923 AB.
- Exhibits from an undisclosed number of trucking industry stakeholders (estimated to be over 175 in total).
- Fireworks display for all three nights of the event.
If you want to see the schedule of the events in full, you can find it on the following event webpage.
“We thoroughly enjoy hosting this event each year and love seeing everyone come together, make new friends and join in the fun. The trucking community is amazing,” said Heather DeBaillie, Vice President of Marketing for the Iowa 80 Truckstop, “From truckers to our vendor and sponsor partners to our staff who help execute this event; we are grateful for everyone who makes this big parking lot party possible.”
Conclusion
While we would love to partake in the festivities, we at TopMark Funding will be too busy staying home in Roseville, California, working diligently to help fleets get the funding solutions they need to go out on the road and keep the nation’s economy running.
General admission to the event is free, but partaking in specific activities, such as the Iowa Pork Chop Cook-out, may cost an additional fee depending on the event. If you are fortunate enough to attend, please tell us all about it on social media.
This event is often used as a chance for companies to show off their latest and greatest innovations in transportation; we will provide a followup article if anything especially exciting is revealed from any of the 175+ exhibitors on the scene!
