Hudsonville Fairgrounds
Watch as bright lights of rigs illuminate the night sky at the West Michigan Truck Show! This annual nonprofit event was originally founded in 2020 to support a local truck driver battling cancer. Intended only as a one-time event, the overwhelming community engagement transformed it into a beloved tradition. Come take a look at “Miss Katie,” the truck that honors the memory of Luke “Cool Hand” Tanis, featured each year. Currently held at the Hudsonville Fairgrounds, this event has grown to include live music, truck pulls, a petting zoo, and other activities.
Now in 2025, Jake Honderd describes how the show aims to support “multiple charities most of which are directed to helping veterans” and also award “scholarships for CDL training” to local students. This event is not only family-friendly entertainment, but also a continual mission to uplift the community of truck drivers and celebrate the industry itself.
