Get those semi-honking arm pumps prepared! It’s time for the Walcott Truckers Jamboree!

The 39^th Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree is happening this Thursday Jul 12 through Saturday Jul 14 at Iowa 80- The World’s Largest Truckstop (755 W Iowa 80 Rd. Walcott).

Since its inception in 1979, the Truckers Jamboree has been celebrating America’s Truckers. This event is a great place to celebrate and learn about trucking and those big rigs. It’s a way of saying thank you to the millions of truck drivers that deliver the goods we consume, whether it’s groceries, gas, clothes or cars — you can bet it was delivered by a truck.
