On September 7, 2024, Braglio Farms in Randallstown, Maryland, transformed into a haven for GM truck enthusiasts as it hosted the annual C10 Playdate. This gathering, free and open to all, drew a diverse crowd eager to showcase their prized machines and share in the camaraderie that defines the GM truck community.
The event welcomed a variety of GM trucks, from classic C10s to S10s, OBS, and NBS models. Each vehicle, whether meticulously restored or bearing the marks of countless adventures, told a unique story.
Vendors offered an array of parts, accessories, and memorabilia. The atmosphere buzzed with discussions about performance upgrades, paint codes, and the occasional debate over the merits of boomer carburetors versus millennial fuel injection.
Food trucks provided a variety of culinary delights, ensuring that no one went hungry. The aroma of barbecue, the sizzle of burgers, and the scent of funnel cakes wafted through the air, tempting even the most dedicated gearheads to take a break and indulge.
One of the unique aspects of the C10 Playdate was the “Bring Your Own Trophy” initiative. Participants crafted creative awards, from “Best Patina” to “Most Likely to Get a Speeding Ticket,” and presented them to fellow enthusiasts. This lighthearted tradition fostered a sense of community and added a personal touch to the proceedings.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the assembled trucks, conversations continued, and plans for future modifications were made. The sense of community was palpable, with new friendships formed and old ones rekindled.
For those who missed the 2024 gathering, plans are already underway for the next C10 Playdate, scheduled for September 6, 2025, at Braglio Farms. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to the GM truck scene, this event promises a day of automotive passion, shared stories, and lasting memories.
