The 2011 Worldwide Equipment Sales Tow Trucks For Tots Parade in Joliet, Ill., set a Guinness World Record with 324 total trucks in its parade this year. The parade and Olympics led to the collection of more than 8,500 toys for underprivileged kids.
Trucks began lining up at 5 a.m. at the Hollywood Casino in Joliet and at 9 a.m. the Illinois State Police started the parade, leading all the Christmas-decorated trucks 42 miles to Toyota Park in Bridgeview. The first tow truck in the parade was an Oshkosh Military Wrecker sent by the Illinois National Guard. At Toyota Park, the trucks unloaded the thousands of toys collected and Worldwide Equipment Sales presented its Tow Truck Olympics.
