10-4 Magazine August 2024

24 10-4 Magazine / August 2024 includes an entire building full of neat memorabilia and another building full of model trucks. The models include displays, and a competition based on age and experience. The winners were... Youth: Brian Lorentz. Novice: Richard Romick. Expert: Richard Romick. On Saturday, there were also several fun contests. The winner of the Slow Truck Crawl was John DeChant. The Loudest Jake Brake was awarded to John Hosta, and The Loudest Horn to Ed Wilson. While the show itself technically ended at 4:00 PM on Saturday, there was still the annual dinner convoy afterwards. Some folks headed home from there, but some went back to the fairgrounds to watch a movie, projected onto the side of Chris Budke’s trailer, pulled by his blue and gold 1987 Marmon conventional. With no entry fees for spectators or trucks, attendees are encouraged to make donations to the Ashland County Food Bank and Shriners Transportation Fund. This year’s event raised over $6,000 for the two organizations. Part of the fund- raising was brought in by the largest live and silent auctions the show has yet had, with many donors contributing great items for both of the auctions. The 2025 show will take place the 4th weekend in June – Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th – once again at the Ashland County Fairgrounds in Ashland, Ohio. The show is put on by members of a few different ATHS chapters. Showers and camping are available on-site, and plenty of hotels can be found nearby. For details, visit www.ohvintrkreu.com. We hope to see you there next year so you can see for yourself just how much fun old trucks can be. n
