4.Grand Opening
Bentwood Truck Museum
Saturday,November 8,at 10:00A.M.
After eighteen months of hard work by more than 100volunteers,the Bentwood Truck Museum is ready to open.The old factory had been scheduled to be destroyed.When Roger Haygood heard about the plan to tear down the building,he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there.Then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum.
During the past year and a half,the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories.Instead of a dark and dull house,the building has become a cheery,bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past.The museum now houses 68trucks,and we hope to have even more soon.There is a 1959school bus,a 1942bakery truck,and a 1937fire engine.Our oldest vehicle is a 1919milk truck.Our newest vehicle is a 1966tow truck.
You can take a ride on a fire truck,a mail truck,or an ice-cream truck.Rides are $ 2.00,but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood.
Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends!There is something to interest everyone who attends.The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history.
