10-4 Magazine October 2022

56 10-4 Magazine / October 2022 Cookout tent. Their primary offering is their pork chop sandwich or dinner plate with all the fixins. They also offer other food, including chicken sandwiches and dinner plates. There will be those who argue with me, but I believe the pork chops at the Pork Chop Cookout are the best I have ever eaten, and I’ve eaten quite few at this show over the years. Besides the trucks participating in the show, there were several bands that put on great concerts throughout the event. Thursday’s entertainment was provided by rising star Kylie Frey, who is popular in Texas. The evening concert with Dani Lynn Howe and Band was followed by fireworks and the popular Lights of the Night show. Friday night’s entertainment was provided by Mo’s Garage, followed by fireworks, and a concert presented by the super group Diamond Rio. The first two events went off without a hitch, but the Diamond Rio concert didn’t begin until after midnight because the group had problems with their tour bus on the way. The concert series ended Saturday afternoon with The Brat Pack out of Bloomington, IL who played some great 80s music. This was another fun-filledWalcott Truckers Jamboree with a lot of things to see, do, and take in over a three-day period. Dalia Moon Meier and her entire staff at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop put on yet another very well planned, organized, and highly successful Walcott Truckers Jamboree. This event is in my backyard and a short two-hour drive from where I live, so I look forward to seeing what this show has to offer the second weekend of July 2023! If you’re traveling along Iowa 80 that weekend, stop by and check it out. It will be worth your time, as it is always a fantastic trucker party! n
