While it will proceed with the Deniliquin and District Wall Of Fame inductee dinner and memorial service as normal in September, the Saturday truck show and expo will be rested this year.
The committee said the format would be reviewed, with a return planned for 2027.
Truck Show committee president Evan Whitbourne said the decision was made based on volunteer availability and the current climate.
Mr Whitbourne said planning for the Wall of Fame dinner on Saturday, September 19 and the Sunday, September 20 memorial service is proceeding well.
“We’re definitely keen to keep up with the dinner, which will be held at the Deni RSL.
“We’ll keep that ticking away and announce some of the guest speakers closer to the event. It’s always a pretty good night.”
Nominations for the Deniliquin and District Wall Of Fame are still open. It is designed to recognise anyone who has 20 years of experience or more in the industry, or made a significant contribution to the local transport community.
