It's On... Thursday, 4/28/2011 is the Big Day!

Hey everybody!

Tomorrow is the big day! In less than 14 hours I will be 'Stuck on a Truck'! The Toad Suck Daze festival actually kicks off at noon Friday but the Stuck on a Truck contest starts a day earlier.

I have spent the last two and a half weeks preparing for the big event. I bought a 9 ft x 10 ft tent, an inflatable mattress, a lantern, and other paraphernalia.

The reason why I need all this stuff is so that on my breaks, I have a place to rest. All the contestants get a five minute break every hour and a fifteen minute break every six hours.

I am gathering everything together to take down to the Centennial Bank parking lot tomorrow morning. All of the contestants have to be onsite at 8 o'clock in the morning to take a drug test.

All 25 of us contestants appeared in the Log Cabin Democrat paper this morning with a short little bio about each of us. You can read the bios here: http://www.stuckonatruck.com/contestants2011.php

I am excited! Be sure to check my progress at http://www.stuckonatruck.com/index.html. You can click on either 'Contestants' or 'Webcam' to see how I'm doing.

Wish me luck! I'm going to need it! :)

Thanks for reading!

It's Official... I'm a Stuck On A Truck Contestant!

I went to Centennial Bank Monday night to find out if I would be an actual contestant.

The bank lobby was filled with Stuck on a Truck wannabees and their friends and families.

After passing out Stuck on a Truck t-shirts, we waited for the 25 contestant names to be drawn.

After hearing so many names called before mine, I was getting a little nervous. You can imagine my relief when the lady said, "And the 25th contestant is... Laura Eilers!" Whew... that was a close one!

Naturally, I took it as a sign. The last name called... the last person standing! :)

Wish me luck! I am soooooo excited! You can read the newspaper article here.

Thanks for reading!
