For the past 12 years the Annual Brockway Truck Show has continually grown and has become a huge success. There are a number of factors that contribute to this success, including people that bring their trucks to the show, the volunteers that assist at the museum, the board members who make sure things happen as well as the various individuals and business that contribute to the effort by way of being ‘sponsors’.
As the 100 year anniversary of Brockway Trucks is approaching along with our 13th Annual show this August, we are once again asking for everyone’s support. Sponsors are recognized with various ads being placed in the annual program book that is printed. Each participant in the show receives a program book in their goody bag and additional copies are available along Main Street during the day of the show. This year’s show will be unique with special events planned to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Brockway Trucks so we are asking for everyone’s help.

Cortland, New York is unique in that it is the only place in the world where Brockway trucks were manufactured. For over half a centure, the influence of the Brockway truck had a major affect on the economy of this community and they were distributed worldwide. Now they are all antiques and are being lovingly restored by loyal Brockway enthusiasts and driven to shows all over the country and abroad.
Ours is the only all-Brockway truck show in existence, and the enthusiasm for "bringing the Brockways home" is overwhelming. Over the past twelve years we have seen trucks from sixteen (16) states, two countries and 45 zip codes outside the Cortland-Homer area. Thousands of spectators come to Main Street, Cortland for one day to reunite with fellow workers and view these classic, spectacular pieces of equipment. This event has grown into multiple days Show with a pre-show barbeque held on Friday evening at the museum. The popular "reunion meal" will once again be held for former Brockway employees and their families. Again this year the parade of Brockway trucks will start from our BROCKWAY MUSEUM site. And once again at this year's Show will be a pancake breakfast on Sunday, August 12, 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the museum. More information about the museum and the Truck Show may be found on our website at www.brockwaytrucks.org.
We invite you to become part of this unique event by becoming a sponsor of the 13th Annual National Brockway Truck Show being planned for Thursday thru Sunday, August 9 - 12, 2012.

A few weeks ago, we received this article from Ed Eminson. For our readers who do not know Ed, he is a loyal Brockway enthusiast who makes the trip to Cortland for the Brockway Truck Show all the way from Australia! His article "tells the story" behind our annual truck shows and we would thought it would be great to share. Thanks Ed!
