Today through maybe Labor Day on Saturdays I'm going to TRY to do something I'll call Saturday Live (how original is that?). I'll post late these nights but I'll show you what I did that day. Hopefully it's more that a picture of my weed whacker.
Today was the 6th Annual Franklin County Truck Convoy for Make A Wish. All the opening festivities were held, again, at Cressler Trucking in Shippensburg. The Truck Convoy is a big fundraiser for Make A Wish Foundation that this year got 40 some trucks together to raise money for and give rides to terminally ill children. The parade left through Shippensburg, Chambersburg, Greencastle, over to Waynesboro and back through Mont Alto and Scotland before returning to Cressler Trucking. The trucks included antiques, fire engines (from the Vigilants of Shippensburg, Fayetteville and Mont Alto) cattle trucks, mail trucks, delivery box trucks, dump trucks, trailer trucks, flatbeds, wreckers and even a cement mixer. Plenty of food before and after, pizzas were donated by Papa Johns and Pizza Hut. It was a hot day but few complained the kids seemed to have a good time and I think the drivers even enjoyed themselves.
Hey Haney,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics so soon. I know I enjoy being part of the Convoy just by watching the looks on the children's faces. Yes, it was a hot day, but there were still people lining the route to show their support to the kids.
Thanks for being there.
