Lets see, ideas....... Not sure where to do it, but
Some type of a swapmeat, tuff truck competition, show shine, pulling contest, dyno, etc. Vendors ( I know it is hard to get them there )
I have never been to one, but I would like to go if schedule permits.
Big thing for alot of people is the cost fro somthing like that. Vendors is the cost of space, and for people it is admission. Always seems steep to me when I go to fairs and such.
Maybe try to incorporate with a county fair, or state fair? Vendors might be more inclined becuase of the people attending, and people could do toehr things while there?
Just some thought off the top of my head

Hey Denny, it's going great. Did you vote for when you would like it to happen? The breakfast went well. There were about 15 trucks. There were a few Dodges and GMs there. We poked fun at Adrianspeeder. He brought his Bronco. Keith
