Subject: West Michigan Truck Show/Industry Expo.: Muskegon, MI, June 19-20-21, 2008

What a great weekend for a truck show! Clear skies and a perfect parking lot over looking the water of Lake Michigan. Competitors started showing up as early as Tuesday to get prepared for the third competition of the season. The National Association of Show Trucks along with Kirskey & Assoc presented the 2nd West Michigan Truck Show / Industry Expo. The parking lot was filled with vendors, trucks of all shapes and sizes and even some of the best looking motor coaches on the road.
The show fired up Friday morning and light judging was Friday night, competitors still had until Saturday morning to finish prepping their trucks. Saturday the competition was very tight and judges struggled with their final decision.
For the second consecutive show Bill Morgan out of Willis, MI takes home Best-of-Show Non-Working. This 1999 Kenworth T800s will stop you in your tracks; done in a Wild West theme Bill keeps the days of the stagecoach alive and well.
