Tracy Lawrence to Perform at Walcott Truckers Jamboree

Iowa 80 Truckstop has tapped Tracy Lawrence to perform at the 31st Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree on July 8.

The concert is being sponsored by Mobil Delvac.

In addition to the concert, this year's event will feature over 200 exhibits; a Super Truck Beauty Contest, Antique Truck Display; Iowa pork chop cookout; Trucker Olympics; carnival games; live music; and a fireworks display. Admission and parking are free. Shuttles will be provided from the parking area to the event grounds.

The Walcott Truckers Jamboree began in 1979 to celebrate America's truckers. The first Jamboree only attracted a few hundred drivers, whereas today it attracts 30,000.

"Each year we try to put on a bigger and better event to show professional drivers how much we appreciate the work they do," said Delia Moon Meier, Iowa 80 Truckstop senior vice president. "We are proud to serve them and are grateful they choose to stop at Iowa 80."

The 31st Annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree will be held July 8-9, 2010, at Iowa 80 Truckstop, I-80 Exit 284, Walcott, Iowa.
