A glimpse of the gleaming trucks that paraded the streets for the annual Nelson Truck Show 2018
The Richmond A & P Showgrounds again played host to the annual Nelson Truck Show held on Saturday, 10 November.
The event is organised as a fundraiser for Stoke School by their efficient PTA, headed by Mel Edwards. Aside from the truck show, there are also market and foods stalls as well as plenty of entertainment for adults and kids alike to enjoy.
More than 60 trucks rolled into the showgrounds on Saturday morning and while the weather was looking somewhat dodgy earlier in the week with heavy rain forecast, the inclement weather passed and Nelson turned on a near perfect day for the big event.
This year, more than $8500 was raised for Stoke School, making it yet another successful and well-supported event. The point of difference for this truck show is the fact that there has only ever been one prize on offer—the People’s Choice award, which, of course, is voted by the general public. However, this year, a Driver’s Choice award was added.
The coveted People’s Choice award was won by Waimea Heavy Haulage and their stunning T909 Kenworth transporter. The inaugural Driver’s Choice award was taken out by Geoff Webby in his beautifully restored International Loadstar.
