Story & all photos this page, Rick Forys My apologies to anyone whose truck isn't included here, however with 300 vehicles at the show, we just couldn't show them all. Please Enjoy! The Ohio Motorpool was very happy to host the 2017 MVPA National Convention also known as the World of Tanks Cleveland Tank Plant Homecoming Military Show & Swap Meet.   By most all accounts the show was very successful. It appears that all the planning and hard work by our Ohio Motorpool volunteers paid off, producing possibly one of the best shows ever.   At over 300 military vehicles or displays, it topped the number set at Tobyhanna in 1998 (288), and public turnout was also very good.   It was reported that paid admission was just under 14,000, and the vendor area was strong too, (406 tables) with most all of the big names on-site ready for business. Anyway you look at it, this was a great show. Plenty of trucks, lots of people, numerous vendors, and more than enough space - all you could ask for.   The trip back and forth to the host hotel was short and basically all freeway, and nightly gatherings at the hotel bar were crowded and very lively.   As always it was good to see old friends and make new ones.   This convention was big fun and I think my favorite so far.   My second favorite was the Louisville show and guess what?   We go back there next year!
