Show Trucks at the Walcott Jamboree

High-toned trucks at the annual Walcott Jamboree

The 37th Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree, hosted by the Iowa 80 truck stop this past weekend, provided a one-of-a-kind stage to display some of the slickest show trucks to found anywhere in the U.S. – along with a few antiques and unusual models as well. Packed with live music from the likes of country western star Sammy Kershaw, carnival games, and a fireworks display, this annual event is “about celebrating America’s truckers and the hard work they do while hauling everything we need,” in the words of Delia Moon Meier, Iowa 80’s owner. “We are proud and honored to serve professional drivers and thankful that we’ve been allowed to do so for the past 52 years,” she said.
