Industry vendors will be present and there will be a free concert by the Aaron Woods Band at 6:30 p.m. immediately followed by a last light show and fireworks. There will be a convoy down Main Street and truck awards. For truckers with children, the show will have a kids area with train rides, a sand pit, balloon animals, and more.
