Trucker Jamboree, June 3
Everyone is invited to join the Association of Christian Truckers (A.C.T.) on June 3-June 7 for a time of new beginnings, food, fun, and fellowship, as well as some great music.
This all happens at A.C.T. at Exit 68 off of I-70 just outside of Brownstown, IL. They kick off the week with a concert by Mitch McVicker on Wednesday at 7 p.m. (Check him out at mitchmcvicker.com). There will be special speakers as well as a custom chopper.
