East Coast Large Car Show
We joined almost 100 trucks on Saturday, June 29, 2013 to celebrate trucking and enjoy a beautiful day under a bright blue sky and billowy white clouds. The show was held in Augusta, NJ at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. There was a BBQ, vendors selling their wares, a pavilion with a mini truck city & remote control trucks and more! It was a great day and we look forward to attending next year.

- Originally, the stars on the flag were arranged in a circle to denote the equality of all the colonies.
- In 1854, the words 'under God' were added to the Pledge of Allegiance.The tune of the National Anthem was originally used by an English drinking song called To Anacreon in Heaven.
- The US imports about $3.6 million of American flags each year, most of them from China.
- Iowa has more places with 'liberty' in its name than any other state (there are 31 places nationwide). There are also places with 'freedom', 'independence' and 'patriot'.
- Thomas Jefferson died on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. So did John Adams who also signed the Declaration.
