10-4 Magazine September 2022

60 10-4 Magazine / September 2022 On June 30, Jay Hawthorne and Guthrie Waechter went to the University of Iowa in Iowa City and presented the check personally to the Stead Family Children’s Hospital. I would like to thank Jay Hawthorne, Guthrie Waechter, Kelly Fore, Jessie Hawthorne, Ryan Shanahan, and rest of the staff at HD Equipment and C&J Trucking for putting on another fabulous truck show in the farmlands of eastern Iowa. I experienced it was fun watching the various bidding wars take place for each item, all done in good fun for a great cause. As I mentioned previously, the charity chosen for the Dirty Business Truck Show this year was Children’s University of Iowa Stead Family Hospital in Iowa City. With contributions from sponsors and vendors, money earned at the auctions, and miscellaneous contributions, just over $40,000 was raised! great Midwest hospitality, tasty food, awesome music, beautiful trucks, and most importantly, raising money for an outstanding cause. I’m also happy to report there was no lost golf cart incident at this year’s show! If you are near the area next summer, make plans to attend the Dirty Business Truck Show on the last weekend of June 2023. I assure you will not be disappointed, and the kids in need will be thankful. n
