At a special dinner on Friday night, Ken Seignior, Kenneth Grimison, Ray Brooks and Terry Grimison were all inducted to the wall of fame.
In attendance for the evening was a sell-out crowd of more than 220 people.
The dinner was just one part of a huge weekend for the Deniliquin Truck Show and Industry Expo, proudly supported by the Rotary Club of Deniliquin.
Catering to the event’s growing popularity, the expo itself was hosted at the Deniliquin Festival Site — home of the Deni Ute Muster — for the first time.
And show president Leesa Muir said it was a successful move.
“We had plenty of room for the 70 trucks in the show ‘n’ shine and the show ‘n’ shines cars and bikes, plus all our other attractions, and plenty more room to grow in future years,” Ms Muir said.
“After an amazing wall of fame dinner at the Deniliquin RSL Club on Friday night, we had at least 1200 people through the gates at the festival site for Saturday’s truck show.
“We had a huge array of stalls, games and entertainment and of course trucks, cars and motorbikes for people to enjoy.
“We finished the day with a trophy presentation and our mega auction, which was again well-supported by donors and bidders.
“But even after an action-packed two days, there was still more to come.
“The big weekend ended with our traditional memorial service at the wall of fame in Davidson St on Sunday, attended by industry representatives and the families of those people who were immortalised following their passing.
“We had amazing weather all weekend, and not one person had any negative feedback.
“We did, however, take on board some suggestions that could make our event even better in coming years.”
