| If I have a truck in the Show & Shine can I bring in supplies in a car/pickup? |
No, you must bring all supplies with you or carry in from front entrance. Please remember that we had over 600 Trucks on our S&S field in 2006 as well as over 62,000 spectators. Having additional vehicle movement creates a huge liability as well it upsets many S&S participants with the amount of dust in the air. With the new spectator entrance it will much easier to carry in items. |
| If I enter a truck in the Show & Shine can I sleep in my truck? |
We encourage you to stay in your truck or if room allows you can set up a tent behind your truck but please take it down during the day. Our judges do look at your site appearance when they are judging your truck. |

Under LCBO and Township of Centre Wellington, the area designated for your truck is considered your campsite. Alcohol may be consumed on your campsite only. Alcohol is not permitted off of your campsite. |
| Do you expect very little to no lineup for Show & Shine parking like last year? |
We would expect the new parking system we implemented last year to have no or very little backlog. After 2005 we spent a lot of time preparing a new game plan and worked quite well last year. Once you get to the Staging Area you must show your pre-registration confirmation or pay $50 (cash,debit, Visa, MC or AMEX). You will then be parked. Only trucks who are pre registered can enter the grounds starting at 10 am on Thursday. All other trucks cannot enter until Friday at 9am or Saturday at 8 am. There will be no parking on the Show & Shine field after 9pm Thursday & Friday. |
