Iowa 80 Truckstop is pleased to announce Lindsay Lawler will be performing at the 34th Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree on July 11th at 7 p.m. The concert is being sponsored by CAT Scale™.

“Lindsay is no stranger to trucking. She is the spokesperson for trucking’s Highway Angel program and has even written and recorded a song in its honor,” says Heather DeBaillie, marketing manager. Her enthusiasm for her music and the connection she has to the trucking industry make her a perfect fit for the Walcott Truckers Jamboree. We can’t wait for her performance.”

In addition to the Lindsay Lawler concert, this year’s event will feature over 175 exhibits; a Super Truck Beauty Contest, Antique Truck Display; Iowa pork chop cookout; Trucker Olympics; carnival games; live music; a fireworks display and loads of fun for the whole family! The 2013 Walcott  Truckers Jamboree has also expanded as a three day event to include Saturday. Admission and parking are FREE! Shuttles will be provided from the parking area to the event grounds.

“My dad founded the Walcott Truckers Jamboree 34 years ago to show his appreciation for drivers and all their hard work in moving America’s freight,” says Delia Moon Meier, Iowa 80 Senior Vice President. “Everyone at Iowa 80 is proud to continue the tradition of celebrating truckers and promoting a positive image of the trucking industry. We can’t think of a better way to say Thank You.”

The first Walcott Truckers Jamboree only attracted a few hundred people in 1979 and featured a few exhibits, live music, food and a small display of antique trucks. Today, the Walcott Truckers Jamboree attracts approximately 30,000 attendees. Celebrating America’s Truckers is why the  Jamboree was founded all those years ago and is still the focus of the event.

The 34th Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree, will be held July 11-13, 2013 at Iowa 80 Truckstop, I-80 Exit 284, Walcott, Iowa.
