Stirling Truck Show to become a Father’s Day weekend tradition
STIRLING, Ont. — Organizers of the Stirling Truck Show have deemed the event a success, despite poor weather, and say they’ll return on Father’s Day weekend next year June 18-20.
This year’s event featured show trucks, a pit crew challenge, a circle check, an indoor and outdoor trade show, a show’n’shine, a light show, seminars and the memorial highway tribute.
There were also musical performances by Ally Howatt, Lazy John, On Tap and Luke Mercier. Children were also entertained with bouncing castles, a carousel, sand pits with toy trucks and a rock climbing wall.
