The line never stopped in the lobby of the Mid-America Trucking Show as fans stopped by for autographs from country music artist Mindy McCready and blue grass legend Ricky Skaggs.

Show hosts Eric Harley and Joe Kelley joined Mindy on Thursday, and Ricky on Friday, in signing autographs during the Mid-America Jamboree in conjunction with the 2002 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., last month.
Over the three days, thousands of attendees stopped by the Midnight Trucking Radio Network's Mid-America Jamboree booth to sign up for a $1,000 cash prize. Carolyn Geer of Ouid, Mich., was announced as the winner Saturday afternoon at the Midnight Trucking Radio Network's lobby booth.
In addition to the autograph session at the Mid-America Trucking Show, Mindy McCready joined hosts Eric Harley and Joe Kelley for an overnight remote broadcast from the lobby of the Executive West Hotel, where hundreds of truckers and industry representatives stopped by.
