10th Annual Brockway Truck Show A Huge Success!

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2009-08-16 15:02

Well it's hard to believe but our 10th Annual Brockway Show has come and gone!  These shows take almost a full year to plan and without everyone's help and participation it would not be the huge success that it was.  This year we had 105 pre-registered trucks with an additional 30 trucks registering at the door, for a grand total of 135, our highest number to date!!!  As usual main street was full of a number of familiar trucks as well as number of fresh trucks.  Walking down Main Street with Brockway's lined on both sides was like waking up on Christmas morning!!!

9th Annual Brockway Truck Show Huge Success

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2008-08-20 07:00

The 9th Annual National Brockway Truck Show was a huge success! 103 pieces of Brockway history traveled the parade route to Main Street in Downtown Cortland, NY under the watchful care of the Cortland County Sheriff's Department and the Cortland City Police Department. Two live husky dogs owned by Frank Mitchell of Syracuse helped with the escort. The weather cooperated and gave us a most enjoyable day. The ever popular Brockway Exhibit by the Cortland County Historical Society was kept busy with hundreds of interested visitors.
