RIGS SWAP ROAD
FOR SHOW
BIG rigs will ring Boort Park - those trucks normally transporting freight and materials up and down the highways and roads of Australia looking their immaculate best as owners vie for the Boort Truck Show top prize.
Owners will have them looking spick and span, every piece of chrome buffed and brilliant and their artwork ready to shine with reflections in the afternoon sun.
Heath Saunders, organiser of the truck show, has again put together the attraction that will captivate everyone who wanders the displays and activities of the Boort Show.
He knows a thing or two about great looking trucks. A traditional signwriter specialising in the transport industry, Heath has handpainted signage for fleet and custom vehicles for more than 25 years. His eye for detail and partnership with Boort Agricultural and Pastoral Society has forged a new generation of show fans who flock to admire the big rigs.
Many of the truck owners will be in Boort the night before, camping with their rigs and putting a final spit and polish before judging after gates open at 10am on show day Saturday.
Trophies will be awarded in many categories with owners hoping to take out the top prize and Boort bragging rights as they hit the roads over the next 12 months.
