Twin City Vans Good Times Truck-In, June 2025 - Part 1

The 48th annual Twin City Vans Good Times Truck-In was held in Albert Lea, MN at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds June 6th and 7th.  I was there in my 1978 Dodge sporting my newly installed vintage Cal-Jammer wing.  I did not get my new windshield visor done in time so little pieces of blue painter's tape covered the holes where the old, broken one was riveted on.  I'm still hoping to get a new visor installed before the Nats.



Speaking of the Nats, Twin City Vans & friends are hosting the 52nd annual National Truck-In ("Van Nats") next month (July 9-13, 2025).  Buy, borrow, or rent a van if you don't have one (a van is required!) and come hang out with hundreds of other vans and vanners from all over the country.  Get all the details here: https://www.52ndvannationals.com/   While it's too late to pre-register, it's certainly not too late to attend - just show up and pay at the gate!


Our club's annual truck-in is just a weekend event instead of a full week so it was like the calm before the storm.  Speaking of storm, while there was a threat of rain, we managed to stay dry, which was great.  We still try to pack a lot of activities into a relatively short amount of time.


Justin did a great job with the awards - he etched them with his laser.


















This van came all the way from Kansas:




Wood Butcher came out of storage last year and returned again this year:

The Chubs played multiple sets Friday night with a good mix of songs.







Bags tournament:





Most of the awards had lighted bases that came with remotes to change the color.




Aurora & James' Dodge has come along so quickly since they acquired it last year.  Love the bubbles from Rose.

Justin has been steadily enhancing his interior:



Tommy's hitch table with umbrella was impressive:









Lots more photos will be posted all week long.  Keep checking back!
