Meet Me At The Crossroads – 2025 Truck Show A Labor Of Love!

CALIFORNIA, MO…  Friends, Family, and Fellowship were the ties that bound the 5th Annual Truck Meet At The Crossroads held on Saturday, May 3rd at the Crossroads Shopping Plaza, US 50 and Route 87 in California, Missouri.

Hosted by the Rissler Family, owners of the Crossroads Shopping Plaza and Horse and Buggy Accessories, the Truck Meet was truly an event geared for the entire family.  98 gleaming, beautiful trucks were on display  at the non-judged show.  Vendors lined the parking lot, a hay wagon transported show attendees, and a kiddie tractor ride, bounce house, and a candy toss provided entertainment for the kids.  The Risslers provided a homestyle buffet dinner to hundreds, followed by the drawing for door prizes.  Once the sun began its evening descent, the festivities continued with a dazzling light show.  A Worship Service and Blessing of the Trucks, Drivers, and their families was held on Sunday morning followed by a free lunch.

Sponsors of the Truck Meet included ATA, Trux Accessories, RoadSknz, JML Customs, Iowa Customs, Valley Chrome Plating, Lincoln Crome, RealTruck RoadWorks, Movin’ Out, Merritt, Minimizer, and Grand General., Hogebuilt, and Dynaflex.

I was immensely impressed with how friendly and polite everyone was at the show – employees, drivers, vendors, and spectators – all had a smile on their face and pitched in to help wherever needed.
