The Faith Assembly of God Church will hold the inaugural South Carolina Truck Show in Charleston from June 25 to 26 on the church grounds.
The South Carolina Truck Show will showcase the latest in trucking technology and equipment. Recruiters will also be on hand to discuss employment opportunities in the transportation industry.

The event will feature a truck "beauty contest," during which trucks of all kinds will compete for prizes. Trucks will be judged on overall appearance, paint, murals, graphics, lighting, cab interior and more. A special light show competition is set for the night of June 25.

The South Carolina Truck Show is a part of the National Association of Show (Trucks) NAST, an organization dedicated to encourage, support and promote activities related to the trucking industry by showing pride in trucks and truck operations, and to ensure uniformity, commonality and fairness in all competitive truck events.

The show has become part of the prestigious Truck-Lite Trophy Series, which awards total prize money of $10,000. It is one of only five qualifying truck shows for the Series this year.

The show will also feature the wedding of Chuck Kemner, trucker and founding member of NAST. He'll be tying the knot with Myrna Russell on June 26.

Gary Collins, owner of Boss Racing, will have a display at South Carolina Truck Show, and Joey Holiday, national entertainer, will be performing both days.

Lowboy Lucas, founder and star of American Trucking Report (ATR), will serve as master of ceremonies for the show, and the entire event will be broadcast live on WLCN TV 18, Charleston's TV station. It will also be streamed via the Internet around the world.

All proceeds from the show will go to Faith Assembly of God Church for missions work.
