A mint-condition 1986 48-foot semi-trailer has been purchased and re-modeled into a state-of-the-art equipment trailer, replacing our very aged 1975 model (put into use in 1990).
Through a generous gift from the Kiwanis Club of Rockford, we were able to purchase this much needed vehicle. Our sincere thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Rockford.
The Phantom Regiment also would like to thank the following businesses, organizations and individuals for their contributions of time, labor and finances toward the design and building of this trailer:
