“Last year, we had 3,000 people and I think we doubled that number for the truck event for 2016,” Edwardsville Township Supervisor Frank Miles said. “We had people as far away as Kansas City who came. It is a huge event.”

Last year, the event hosted more than 30 vehicles of various purposes (fire trucks, farm equipment, utility, transit bus) and welcomed more than 8,000 guests.

"Come join us and make this event a growing community tradition," Miles said.
