Highway Angel spokesperson Lindsay Lawler will also perform on July 16. There will be fireworks displays on Thursday and Friday night, and Friday afternoon attendees can have a piece of cake at the Iowa 80 truck museum to celebrate the 1916 Mack AC truck’s 100th birthday. Ruth Fruehauf, granddaughter of trailer founder August Fruehauf, will be on hand for a book signing.
