It was a big day of fun for children and adults with truck displays, pony rides, a jumping castle and a barbecue.
A total of 11 trucks were on display, with some the beneficiary of awards.
A white Roboss from Nabiac won the best tip truck with Go Swift Transport picking up best rigid.
A Mac from Newcastle won the best old truck trophy and the oldest truck award went to a Bedford.
Proceeds from the event went to the rescue squad and Harrington Lions Club.
Organiser of the truck show Greg Thompson highlighted the success of the day.
“It raised $400 for the Rescue Squad, the Lions club was really happy and so was the coffee machine operator,” Greg said.
Originally a fundraiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, Greg moved the show to the rescue squad’s headquarters for 2019.
