Since 1988 the Annual Penrith Working Truck Show has built a reputation as one of the finest truck shows in the country.

Held on March 20th this year the show didn’t disappoint. Ian Lee was there to take some photos for Australian Custom Trucks and Bling’d Up Trucks.

The show brought together local families, local operators and trucking enthusiasts from across the country. Being a registered charity event, all funds from the Show are used for the education of families in fire safety, for the preservation of fire history and supported by local firefighters, who are helping to run the event.

If you missed this year’s event, then don’t miss next year when the show, held at the Museum of Fire in Penrith, celebrates its 30th Anniversary.

It will be the same familiar show with one day of non-stop entertainment, rides and unique exhibits on Sunday, March 19th, 2017. It is one of the friendliest shows I have ever been to!

There are hundreds of vehicles on display, from B-doubles to custom trucks, plastered with chrome detailing and spectacular airbrushing.

Together with the outstanding collection of fire engines owned by the museum.

Live entertainment is always world class designed to keep you rocking all day long.

It is truly a family day and kids are kept busy with a huge selection of free rides, free face painting and other activities.

Make sure you pencil the date on your calendar! For more information visit the website www.pwts.com.au for all the latest info.
