Day 1 Well I'm here, couldn't unload until after 7 pm. Rules, rules, rules. The folks from Kerlin Motors helped me unload the truck. I've heard Lonny (MrTrailer) won't be here this year. I thought they would name a building here after him. I'll take some new pictures of Sport Chassis's big red pickup truck. Lots of International conversions this year. I see Blue Ribbon trailers now has some horse trailers. They started out just making livestock trailers. When it rains here, the old north building leaks bad. The only building where folks go outside when it rains. Cimarron has another tall trailer this year, I'll get pictures. Here is what I have today.
