Jamboree shines at world’s largest truckstop

WALCOTT, IA - For 38 years the World's Largest Truckstop in Walcott, Iowa has been putting on a Truckers Jamboree. For more years than she cares to count, Heather DeBaillie has been organizing this show. During July 13-15, there were 157 exhibits, 72 rigs in the Super Truck Show and Shine, and close to 200 antiques -- all brought by meticulous drivers from Florida to Canada. Walk around and you'll quickly pick up on the love these people have for their industry. Look a little closer and you'll see the care they also have for others displayed anywhere from messages on their trucks to full-wrap tribute vehicles.
