According to Karen Bancroft, owner and operator of Ms. K’s Kitchen, who organized the event, the indoor rally was a way to bring food truck fans their favorites during winter months.
“The reason I thought about doing a food truck is that people really enjoy them in the summer and once September, October comes around there’s obviously no more outdoor events. Food trucks are far and few between,” said Bancroft.

“I know that some people miss being able to go to their favorite food trucks and being able to eat. So, I just thought it would be something that people would really enjoy doing.”

Bancroft said that she anticipates around 2,000 people to attend.
