Open House takes on a Fund Raising Tone

Nearly 50 Peterbilt customers showed their pride and showcased their ride by circling the City of Dentonโ€™s Downtown Square before hundreds who gathered to take in the spectacle during the first Peterbilt Pride & Class Parade. Peterbilt Motors Company has their heavy-duty truck manufacturing facility and is headquartered in Denton, Texas.

Trucks ranging from a 1948 Model 350 to current production Model 579s and Model 567s โ€“ and many models manufactured in-between โ€“ were in Denton for Peterbiltโ€™s annual employee and family open house. The trucks and their owners came from throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Pride & Class Parade raised nearly $1,000 from donations made during the event for the United Way of Denton County. United Way of Denton County President and CEO Gary Henderson is the paradeโ€™s Grand Marshall.
