It’s been missed on the calendar of events for the last two years, but the Deniliquin Truck Show and Industry Expo is back next month.
The event is held the fourth weekend in October at Memorial Park, Deniliquin.
And after a COVID-19 forced hiatus, Truck Show Committee president John Creenaune is excited to welcome everyone back this spring.
The Deniliquin Truck Show and Industry Expo will run from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, October 22.
A fantastic line-up of entertainment has been organised, which includes truck show and shine, and an auction.
Learn more about the industry and its advancements at one of the many trade sites – you might just find something to make your life on the road that little bit easier.
There are great activities for the young ones too, making this a fantastic family event. There will be an animal nursery, kids’ craft area, kids’ rides and show bags. And of course, there will be a range of food stalls on offer so you don’t have to miss any of the action.
Admission is just $10 per person, with children under 15 years free.
But there’s more to this big weekend than just the Truck Show.
Stalwarts in the industry will be celebrated at the Deniliquin & District Transport Industry Wall of Fame inductee dinner at the Deniliquin RSL Club that evening.
The dinner, which is from 6pm, will feature a goods and services auction, two-course meal and the induction of this year’s Wall of Famers Tickets are $55 per person.
Book by calling the club on (03) 5881 1455.
The weekend concludes with the traditional memorial service at 10am Sunday, October 23.
It is held at the Wall of Fame and memorial, which is set amongst the gum trees in the Deniliquin North Rest Area, on Davidson Street, Deniliquin.
The memorial wall is a space to sit and reflect on the lives of those who, in their lifetime, contributed to the transport industry in our region.
