TRUCKERS INVITED
TO PARTICIPATE
IN “TRUCK ROADEO”
The local Chamber of Com
merce has received word from
the Valdez Chamber that Alas
ka’s first "Truck Roadeo” is being
planned by that Chamber on the
tentative dates of May 3rd thro
ugh the 5th. The event wll be
held in Valdez.
Truck firms throughout Alaska
are invited to participate in the
event. The Valdez Chamber has
received the approval of the Am
erican Trucking Association, Inc.,
and the National Rodeo Commit
tee and hope to make this the
biggest event to which Alaska
motof' freight people have ever
gathered.
‘‘We in Valdez believe that we
have the logical site for a Terri
torial Roadeo, in that we are at
the major shipping-trucking ter
minus of Alaska,” the committee
states. “Much history has been
made here during the last half
century, as transportation pro
gressed from the days of the
horse-drawn sleds and wagons to
our present modern trucks and j
trailers, which have all travelled
over Alaska’s original route to the
Interior, now Territorial High
way No. 1, the Richardson High
way.”
The winner of final competition
in the Truck Roadeo will be sent,
with all expenses paid, to the Na
tional Finals in Washington, D.C.
which will be held sometime in
August or September of this
year. Competition will be govern
ed by the “Truck Roadeo” rules
of the American Trucking Asso
ciation, Inc. Copies are available
from the Valdez Chamber at
one dollar each. A booklet of
things truckers should know, and
sample questions, is also avail
able at 40 cents. All correspon
dence should be addressed to Mrs.
Judy Johnson, corresponding sec
retary; Valdez Truck Roadeo;
Box 371; Valdez, Alaska.
