Community Events
& Programs
From classic truck shows to youth workshops and the Real Sandbox Show, our chapter brings Mohave County together around the trucks, trades, and people that built the American West.
Chapter Meetings & Events
The Mohave County ATHS is more than a club — we’re a growing community of enthusiasts, operators, and industry supporters who love to connect, showcase, and share the legacy of trucks and trades.
Throughout the year, we host and participate in a variety of events, including:
~ Local truck meetups and show ‘n shines
~ Community outreach and events
~ Monthly chapter meetings with guest speakers and updates on industry trends
~ Hands-on experiences that highlight the trades and equipment
The Real Sandbox Show — our signature event, bringing together heavy equipment, cranes, haulers, and tradespeople for a one-of-a-kind public experience.
Whether you're a lifelong ATHS member, a classic rig restorer, or just beginning your journey in the trades — there's always something to get involved in. Check back often or join our email list to stay up to date on upcoming events, member spotlights, and opportunities to participate.
