Truckin' for Special Olympics

Truckers from all over the state converged on Alma early Saturday morning -- in a fund-raiser for Special Olympics:



The World's Largest Truck Convoy this year aimed to attract more than 3,000 trucks to a variety of convoys scheduled across North America. In Michigan, convoys -- designed to raise money and attract attention to the athletic program for intellectually disabled people -- were scheduled in Grand Rapids, Lansing and mid-Michigan.
Trucks rolled up U.S. 127 from Blodgett Oil Co.'s Petticoat Junction restaurant to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe's Sagamok Shell.
