The 10th annual Western Maryland Truck Show will be held from Friday, Aug. 22, through Sunday, Aug. 24, at the Grantsville Town Park. A variety of events are scheduled.
On Friday night, Marcy's Wings in the Park will benefit the Grantsville Fire Department building fund. Eight different flavors of wings will be available from 5 to 9 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Salisbury VFW and the Western Maryland Truck Show.

At 7 p.m. on Friday, a truck pull contest will feature "man power" rather than horsepower. Proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Western Maryland Division.

Visitors can also meet Miss Maryland USA, who will be at the show that day.

Spectators should bring lawn chairs and blankets for an evening in the park with the bands Ricochet from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Highway 101 from 9 to 10:30 p.m.

On Sunday, Loretta Hummel and the Golden River Band will play from 10 to 12:30 p.m.

The Maryland Department of Transportation will also give a demonstration of weighing a tractor trailer loaded with logs.

The truckers will also be presented with their awards beginning at 1:30 p.m., including people's choice, mayor's choice, Miss Maryland's choice, and the Western Maryland Truck Show Memorial award.

The coloring contest winner will also be announced, and a driver will win a $1,000 cash give-away.

In order to allow trucks to enter the park, Miller Street in front of the Grantsville Park will be closed on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Pennsylvania Avenue to Hershberger Lane. Additional parking will be provided as needed.
