In support of the Make A Wish Foundation, Cressler's Trucking of Shippensburg, PA help to organize the Franklin County Truck Convoy. The Convoy is for seriously ill children and their families and gives these children an opportunity to ride in one of the big rigs. Following a picnic with the families, the children can ride in a semi truck or a cement truck or an antique tractor trailer truck or a dump truck or a fire truck, there are nearly 40 trucks involved. The ride goes for a 20 to 25 mile loop and is quite a thrill for these kids. Each truck must make a donation to be in the parade, many go above and beyond with these donations. These pictures are from last year and show the Vigilant Hose Company No. 1 of Shippensburg leading the parade just as they did this year. Just goes to show that there doesn't need to be an emergency for firefighters to help their community. Nice job guys.
