Attendees are promised an amazing showcase of semi-truck tractors and trailers at the new three-day event – The Badger State Truck Show.  The free, inaugural event, scheduled for July 28-30, will include many family-friendly activities.  Entertainment includes a children’s play area and free truck rides all weekend long.  Children will enjoy free rides from a half dozen trucks on the Dodge County Fairgrounds track. Families can enjoy one-on-one conversations with the drivers and hear their personal stories of their miles on the road.
