A change in the show plan but we adapt and keep moving!!!! This will be a super night of fellowship and support for a fantastic group!!!!

THE SHOW IS STILL ON... AND NOW IT’S ABOUT SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER. ❤️

We have an important update about the Central IL Truck Convoy concert on August 29th.

Due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding C**t Ford’s recent bus accident, C**t will no longer be able to perform at this year’s event. Our hearts continue to be with C**t, his family, and everyone affected.

But we have decided that this isn’t where the story ends.

In fact, we believe this is where the mission gets even bigger.

We are proud to announce that Wes Bayliss and Laila Smith will still take the stage at the Effingham County Fairgrounds on August 29th, and the concert is now FREE TO THE PUBLIC!

NO TICKETS.
NO ADMISSION FEE.
JUST COME.

Instead, we are asking everyone who attends to consider making a good-will donation to Mae's Miracle. ❤️

And this is a cause that deserves to be heard.

Mae Buzzard was diagnosed with Leigh Syndrome the day after her first birthday. Her family is sharing her story, raising awareness, and fighting to fund research for a cure through the CureMito Foundation.

This is Mae’s “One Shot to Live.”

So for the next few weeks, we are putting everything we have behind Mae.

We want to fill the fairgrounds.
We want to fill the parking lot with trucks.
We want to fill the night with music.
And most importantly, we want to raise as much as we possibly can to help Mae get the shot she so desperately needs.

🎶 Laila Smith

Let’s turn an unexpected change into something incredible.

One night. One mission. One shot to live. ❤️
