Professional Monster Trucks and their drivers will put on a show for two consecutive nights this summer in Houston as part of the 107th annual Old Settlers Reunion.
Houston Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Angie Miller-Quinlan announced that a second night has been added to the Traxxas Monster Truck Destruction Tour appearance, and competition will take place Friday and Saturday, June 30 and July 1, in the arena at the chamber fairgrounds on North U.S. 63.
Miller-Quinlan said five trucks will compete during the event, and another will be on hand as a “ride-along,” allowing attendees to get in and ride for a fee. Trucks are expected to be parked at various Houston businesses on Friday prior to the event, allowing people to take photos with the drivers.
The shows start at 7:30 each night. Advance tickets will cost $20 or $10 for children ages 6 to 12 (kids under 5 get in free). They will go on sale April 17 and can be purchased at the chamber office (in the Visitors Center at U.S. 63 and Walnut Street), Romines Motor Co., Infinite Entertainment and Landmark Bank.
Tickets at the gate will cost an additional $2 apiece ($22 or $12). Shows each night will preceded by a pit pass party from 6 to 7 p.m. (separate tickets will be available for that).
The Settlers Reunion will begin with Gospel Night on Thursday, June 29, and conclude Saturday, July 1 with the chamber’s annual fireworks show (after Monster Truck competition).
