* Trophies were presented to the top 50 entrants who brought out trucks in the area
* In its second year, the show has outgrown its first venue and has become the area's biggest truck show
* Nathan and Amanda Curry of Branson, Missouri, took home Best Minitruck
Events:
Friday night concert, featuring Confederate Railroad, got everything started. (The show's in the country, what can we say.) A KCBS BBQ cook-off made sure no minitrucker went hungry, and an unofficial after party was held at Wade Walkers
