Today was the 7th annual Franklin County Truck Convoy for the Make A Wish Foundation. Again this year it formed at Cressler Trucking in Shippensburg. Following a picnic and small games the convoy left Cresslers for the ride through Franklin County. I didn't count the trucks (I did catch hell, apparently I was suppose to) but I would guess 50 more or less. Including Tractor Trailers, Flatbeds, Implement rollbacks, Cement Trucks, Recycle trucks, Fire Trucks and Dump Trucks. All washed up with their wheels all shiny and with banners and balloons. Lights, sirens and horns. They took off at 11:30 am and I heard the horns again on the return about 2:45 pm. A nice ride for those deserving and those volunteering to help raise some money for a good cause. The police escort was followed by the Fire Chief's Buggy from the Vigilant Hose Company and Engine Tanker 5 from Mont Alto (Pa.) Fire Department.
I believe all involved had a great time and by the turnout of well wishers along the route, these deserving children had a blast.
ReplyDeleteAs always, the Fire Police did an outstanding job having most intersections blocked to allow the convoy to proceed.
Thanks for being there to snap these pictures Haney.
