A new truck beauty show, "Billy Bob's Texas Truck Round-Up" will be held in the Fort Worth Stockyards at Billy Bob's Texas, billed as the world's largest country music nightclub, Sept. 28-30.
The event, sanctioned by the National Association of Show Trucks (NAST), is co-sponsored by TruckGen Ultra-Compact Generators and SCS/Frigette Climate Control Systems.
The owner of every truck entered in the show will be entered in a drawing to receive a Total Truck Air Conditioning/Generator System worth more than $6,000. This system allows a trucker to eliminate idling while maintaining all the conveniences and climate control of home. TruckGen's promotional show truck and trailer will be on hand to demonstrate all aspects of the system, which consists of a TruckGen 3.5 kW UCT1-3.5 ultra-compact generator and an SCS/Frigette truck-duty climate control system.
In addition to seeing many of the country's hottest show trucks, visitors will be able to enjoy the one-of-a-kind surroundings of the Fort Worth Stockyards. Billy Bob's Texas, the 127,000-square foot family entertainment center, has been named the Country Music Club of the Year eight times. It features 32 bars, a huge dance floor and capacity for more than 6,000 people to enjoy many of the biggest names in the music industry.
Show entrants will receive free tickets to weekend concerts, featuring recording artist Blake Shelton on Friday night, and country music star Terri Clark on Saturday night.
The Fort Worth Stockyards is also home to Stockyards Station, with restaurants, galleries and 27 shops. The newest museum in Fort Worth is The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, featuring the Sterquell Wagon Collection. Cowtown Coliseum hosts professional rodeos every Friday and Saturday night, and there are daily Longhorn cattle drives in the stockyards at 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. For more information, visit the website at www.billybobstexas.com.
