First Friday Food Truck

Mark your calendars for the first Friday of every month, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, and join us as The Occasional Collective brings the flavor to Treynor.

We'll be transforming the South TS BANK parking lot into a little slice of foodie heaven, right here in our little rural community.
But it's not just about the food (although, let's be honest, that's a pretty awesome perk!). We're passionate about making a positive impact in our community, and that's why a portion of all in-store sales during #FirstFridayFoodTruck events will be donated to local area food pantries. By participating, you'll not only be enjoying delicious food and supporting local businesses, but you'll also be directly contributing to the fight against food insecurity in our community.

We'll be partnering with a rotating cast of amazing local food trucks, offering a diverse array of culinary delights, so check in often, or follow The Occasional Collective on Facebook & Instagram for event updates!

Ages 16+. $10 per person. Park entry fee included in registration. Please meet at the Loess Hills Lodge.
