West Michigan Truck Show
The West Michigan Truck Show is in Hudsonville tonight and tomorrow. The event was born in 2020 as a fundraiser for Luke "Cool Hand" Tanis during his battle with cancer. Luke passed away, but his family still attends every year, and his truck, "Miss Katie", is always on display.
Both days are packed, with Friday night featuring a live concert and light show. Saturday brings kids events, a live auction, and truck pulls. Proceeds benefit local charities and Michigan veteran assistance.
