EAU CLAIRE, WI, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nuss Truck & Equipment is proud to host the Third Annual Terry Biddle Memorial Convoy & Truck Show, returning Friday, August 15, and Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 6111 Truax Lane, Eau Claire. This free, family-friendly event celebrates the life and legacy of Terry Biddle—a dedicated law enforcement officer, trucking enthusiast, and beloved community member—while raising funds for the Eau Claire Police Department’s K9 Fund and Junior Police Academy.
“This event isn’t just about trucks—it’s about community, service, and keeping Terry’s spirit alive,” said co-organizer Dan Ravenhorst. “Every truck, every donation, and every sponsorship helps support our law enforcement heroes and inspire the next generation through the Junior Police Academy.”
Event Purpose & Legacy
Terry Biddle served his community with dedication both as a law enforcement officer and as a supporter of the trucking industry. His passion for big rigs, public safety, and mentoring young people inspired the creation of this annual event, which blends his two worlds: the roar of diesel engines and the values of service, integrity, and community connection.
Since its inaugural year, the event has raised thousands of dollars for public safety initiatives, directly funding police K9 training, equipment, and youth outreach programs. Each year, the convoy and truck show serve as both a tribute to Terry’s life and a gathering point for families, truckers, and supporters from across Wisconsin and neighboring states.
