Fergus Truck Show gets back to its roots for 25th Anniversary
The Fergus Truck Show is an event
synonymous with the trucking
industry. It is a time for industry professionals and their families, as well as
people who have absolutely no connection
with the trucking industry to get
together and celebrate a great industry
and a great event.
This year will mark the 25th
anniversary of a show that was meant to
be just a one-time gig. Established in
1986 to raise money for the Fergus and
District Community Centre Hall addition
and to introduce
members of the community to
the trucking industry,
no one would
have believed that 25 years later it’s
now the largest
truck show in
North America,
both in paid attendance
and the
number of entrants in the big truck
show and shine
competition.
The show is
held annually at
the Centre
Wellington Community
Sportsplex, and
stands behind
community wellbeing
by distributing
profits to local groups who assist by
volunteering at the show.
