Well, I almost forgot what happens around here the second weekend of July.. But it is that time again for the Toyo Tires Summer 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals (Monster Trucks and other trucks that get 10 gallons to the mile). If you really want to know what this is all about, check this PDF then.
Hard to beleive that in the 21 years it has been going on, I have not once been there to see it. And not going again this year.. in fact I am going to avoiod the west end of Bloomsburg all weekend.


Nice. I went to college at BU in the 90's when it was just getting going. Do they still shut down main street and fill thier truck beds with water to make mobile hot tubs (lukewarm at best)? I worked as a waiter/bartender at one of the popular sidewalk cafes and we all used to battle over who had to work that weekend.
I had friends visit from the big city on one of these weekends, it was their first trip to Bloomsburg. When they got to my place on friday evening they were wondering what on earth was happening. Our response was something like 'what do you mean, it's friday night!'
It's a great place to witness glorious redneckery in one of it's purest forms, you should embrace it.
Everyone loves a rodeo... Especially when monster trucks are involved!
