After its awards ceremony was postponed during the main event two weeks ago, Brisbane Convoy for Kids announced its trophy winners at a separate event over the weekend.
The Brisbane Convoy for Kids took place on Saturday November 1, with 778 trucks participating in the convoy – but inclement weather meant organisers chose to postpone both the awards presentation and part of the auction.
The awards presentation and auction instead took place at Yatala Truck Wash on Saturday November 15 – and organisers said it was happening rain, hail or shine.
Despite heavy rain, it all went on as planned. For those who couldn’t attend in person, it was also live streamed online.
