The Mid-America Truck Show

In Louisville Kentucky there was a very popular event that many people wait for every year. It was the Mid-America Truck Show. The Mid-America Truck Show is the largest truck show in the world. It ran from March 19-21. I went there on the 19th with my boyfriend and one of his friends. It was huge! 71,992 people attended, there were 935 vendors, and the whole show was located within 1 million square feet.

Here are a few pictures I took when I was there.
There were two main sections to the show. There was an outside part and an inside part. The outside part was where all of the show trucks were. There were quite a few. There were a lot that were stretched and had awesome graphics painted on them. There were a lot of newer trucks and a lot of older trucks.
The inside was much bigger and more interesting. Inside is where most of the vendors where. They were promoting many new things that had to do with fuel efficiency such as things that you put on your trailer that help you get better mileage. The also had games, drawings, and contests. I won a $25 dollar gift card in a drawing.
The pictures that I took and added above were pictures that I took of a truck inside. It was a very large International truck, and I really liked the graphics that it had.
