2022 Walcott Truckers Jamboree Super Truck Beauty Contest Winners

Walcott Truckers Jamboree is Huge Success

Celebration dedicated to America’s Truckers attracts over 45,000.

WALCOTT, IOWA — The World’s Largest Truckstop celebrated America’s truckers last week with an estimated 45,053 drivers, their families, and local residents in attendance during the 43rd Walcott Truckers Jamboree. Visitors came from 27 different states and two Canadian Provinces to display their trucks; drivers from Arizona, California, Texas, and Canada traveled the farthest.

The Walcott Truckers Jamboree has been celebrating truckers, “rain or shine”, since 1979. This year was no different with thankfully plenty more shine than rain. “The Walcott Truckers Jamboree celebrates professional drivers and the important work they do”, says Heather DeBaillie, Vice President of Marketing. “We thoroughly enjoy hosting this event each year and love seeing everyone come together, make new friends and join in the fun. The trucking community is amazing. From truckers to our vendor and sponsor partners to our staff who help execute this event; we are grateful for everyone who makes this big parking lot party possible.”

During the three days, guests enjoyed over 150 exhibits; a Super Truck Beauty Contest with 92 registered contestants; a fantastic antique truck display with over 100 vehicles; delicious Iowa pork chop cookout; Trucker Olympics; a Pet Contest and free, live concerts. Concerts were courtesy of Mobil Delvac, Freightliner Trucks and CAT Scale. Both Thursday night and Friday night included fireworks displays, a truck light show and plenty of fun for the whole family!

Iowa 80 Trucking Museum also celebrated the 100th birthday of its 1922 Walter Snow-Fighter. The celebration included birthday cake, refreshments and balloons.

Mark your calendars! Next year’s Walcott Truckers Jamboree will be held July 13-15, 2023.
