Tui truck show delivers

More than $2000 was raised for the Prostate Cancer Foundation at the Tui Truck Stop Show and Shine held at Mangatainoka on Saturday.

A variety of trucks from logging trucks, milk tankers and livestock trucks to dump trucks and cement mixers were on public display.

It was the second year the event had run, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation was the chosen charity.

Tui HQ manager Jenny Holmes said the show was a success.

She said it was a great day, held despite the weather, although the sun came out at lunch time. "The crowd was in great spirit and this year saw a lot of families coming to look at the trucks and relaxing in the sun once it came out," she said.

Ms Holmes said community groups did very well supplying a variety of food to the crowd.

"We had a great response to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, raising over $2000," she said.

She also thanked the sponsors that helped make the day so successful.

"A lot of people walked away very happy with their prizes," she said.
